Dogs are prominent supporting players in the biblical cast of characters; their roles include eating Jezebel, licking up the blood of Naboth, eating the crumbs from their masters’ tables, and furnishing comparisons for proverbs. Do a keyword search on Bible Gateway to find all their appearances.
Cats, as far as I can tell, aren’t mentioned.
I assume you mean housecats (Felis silvestris), such as the Egyptians would have had? I remember that Samson killed a lion (with his bare hands IIRC) and later on found a beehive and honey in the lion’s dead body.
Cats are mentioned in the Hadith, but I can’t find anything in the Quran.
I found a Bible of a women with 32 cats and right there on page one it says “In the beginning CATS created the heaven and Earth.”
The bible mentions lions frequently. More than 150 times in the KJV. THere are references to leopard but beyond that I am not aware of any other cat references. No generic word for cat, and I don’t think any other cats.
Nope, no house cats mentioned (at least in the Jewish bible; I’m not familiar with the NT).
The Bible is searchable online. http://www.biblegateway.com/
searching for cat returns several verses about cattle or catastrophe, but no cat.
Well, me-ow!
Maybe not in the Bible per se, but Catholic theology at least has expanded to include the concept of Purr-gatory.
And of course there’s the festival of Purr-im.
You misspelt* cat-holic*.
Muhammad famously loved cats.
Doesn’t that take place in the tabbynacle?
God did say “I loved The Passion of the Christ, much better than Cats”
Behaviour which many dog owners will have noted.
And don’t forget Santa Claws!
I think y’all are all missing the fact that the O.T. God was obviously a cat: fickle, judgmental, alternately cold and indifferent and raging with fury, and prone to putting people in sandy places and shitting all over them.
