My best friend doesn't like cats, yet he's supported me all day over what happened last night. He'd never hurt a cat and he was so angry today that someone could do such a thing. Some people just don't like them this is true but no reason to hurt them. |

I don't mind it when people say they don't like cats, fair enough, I 'm not into birds like OH is. But I hate folk who despise a creature so much they persecute them. Saying that cats are fair game; I take it they mean 'game' in the sporting sense, which is unacceptable. No animal, or bird for that matter, needs to be sportingly shot, stalked, played with for human pleasure in their fright or death. That to me is when humanity leaves the human state and we become less than them. I'm not a veggie, I enjoy meat, I understand the need to kill for food; just not the 'play-acting' that goes on with it. Sorry, rant over, now... to cats, live and let love I say  |

Do you remember one of the quiz questions last night???? What domesticated animal is not named in the Bible .... and the answer was "cat". I don't believe that this could have any bearing on the issues raised in this thread, do you? |

Interesting speculation; sort of akin to the connection with witchcraft bit. But I really thing it just boils down to people with no empathy for others, and that cats are relatively easier prey than dogs, and the "just a cat" attitude from people who know no better..... Of course there's always the apocryphal Bible story of how the tabby got her "M" forehead marking... not in the Standard canon, but a nice story; wish it were true, and who knows, maybe it was ...  |

Quick Summary: It was chilly in Bethlehem and the baby Jesus was restless and crying in the manger. Mary tried to comfort him, but he wasn't consoled. Then a little barn cat came, hopped into the manger and curled up next to Him, purring softly. He dropped off to sleep, Mary was so pleased she stroked the little cat and said henceforth she and all her children forever more would bear an M on their foreheads in memory of that night........ |

Oh lovely Eileen - a bedtime story to go with my cuppa! It is amazing how consoling stroking a cat can be, isn't it? |
