Quote# 11246

Two cats, both rescued by me, both loved by me. Lydia likes the benefits of living in a house, with food, warmth in the winter, toys and catnip. But the rare times she considers my existence, it's usually just to get something she wants. Even when she consents to be petted, there's always a look of suspicion, wondering what uncouth trick I'm about to pull on her. Phoebe, on the other hand, considers all the house benefits secondary to having her time with me, and she will chase me from room to room, until I sit down, so she can hang onto me and love me, and know that I love her back.

Two cats. One is an Isaiah 29:3 cat, giving "lip service." The other is a Deuteronomy 6:5 cat, who loves with all her heart. These two furballs are a constant reminder to me -- which one of these two represents the kind of child I am to the One Who rescued me?

I think it's a tad harsh on the first cat, whose quite likely got reasons for being suspicious of people.

...And the second one just knows how to make her little puppet dance... Don't anthropomorphize, please. Second kitty would treat anyone like that. Why? Because second kitty has been conditioned (Pavlov, anyone?) to do that as a means of getting attention.

All cats consider humans as part of the furniture. Therefore the second cat doesn't like you, you just make the best seat.

Frankly, I have more respect for the first cat. It appears to be a better judge of character.

I suggest burning the first cat for all eternity.

Congratulations. Even a cat is smarter than you are.

The REAL question is, would Transformed smite the first cat because of it's unwillingness to do her obeisance??

\"which one of these two represents the kind of child I am to the One Who rescued me?\"

It's hard to tell. Do you have a third cat who is a shithead?

Is she going to burn the Isaiah cat?!

I think both cats are just cats, no Bible verses needed to be tied to their behaviour. I doubt they even think like we do.

Having spent 16 of my 22 years around cats, I'd like to think I have a pretty good idea as to what goes through their little minds.

You do not adopt a cat - the cat adopts you.

If the cats didn't love her in some fashion, then there is no way she could stop them from escaping.
Both cats are using her for their own convienience. The first cat is most likely skittish due to what she endured as a stray. Most stray cats have an instinctive fear of humans, simply because humans can do so much to hurt them. This fear can be over-ridden, but it takes quite a bit of work to do. And believe me when I say that once a cat's fear of a human is over-ridden they become the most loving pet you'll ever have.

JadedRevenge, I agree. On principle. I hate cats.

JadedRevenge, your'e too harsh. How about something more reasonable, like sacrificing it on an altar to her god with a butcher knife?

Since the good folks over at Rapture Ready believe all manner of nonsense I can only assume that at least a few still believe cats to be witches/demons or their familiars. You should expect a mob with torches and pitchforks at your door any time now to help you burn them both at the stake.

I suspect a few will probably even read demonic posession into your description of your cats and suggest have them exorcised.

Yes, and much as you are unwilling to fork over the can opener to them, so was God unwilling to let Adam eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.

Do you think you'll get your can opener in heaven, or continue with pet status?

Transformed, you're comparing your relationship to your God with your cats' relationship to you. Is this how you see yourself in regards to the Divine? As some sort of cute but basically superfluous pet? That's just sad, even for a fundie.

So the moral of the story is christians are annoying stalkers who follow god around until he gives them a hug?

Meh. I really don't see the big deal here; she is reading far too much into things, but this is pretty blase as fundiness goes.

Coffeee...
No, in her story she is god of the cats. And one cat is to be cast to hell for all eternity, and the other allowed into heaven.
I always thought some of these people have big egos. Damn messiah complex.

Of course, that they are two fucking animals and are not liable to morality, is something you haven't considered at all.

I just read this to my cat (who is, by the way, the smartest cat in the world).

He said: "Meow, Meow... Meow!... Meow, Meow!!! MEOW! MEOW!!!"

Translation:

"Phoebe, Lydia... Get the fuck outta there! The bitch is fucking crazy!!! You were better off on the streets!!!!"

Come on, admit it, idolorator, you are a cat worshipper!

Mind you, I appreciate a nice pussy too...

the first cat sounds like a perfectly normal cat, and the second cat is probably just looking for attention.

I like cats, but I have no illusions about how much they really care about you.
