So, I am a cat person, I admit it. I also freely admit to having a warped sense of humor and being somewhat less than stable. That being said, I love those funny cat pics all over the net, and found a little story about how the cat came to be that, while not true according to the scriptures I have read, does nicely define the noble cat(aka Kitty).

So without further ado, some gratuitous pics and the story.

And God Created The Cat
It is reported that the following edition of the Book of Genesis was
discovered in the Dead Seal Scrolls.
And Adam said, “Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked
with me everyday. Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome
here and it is difficult for me to remember how much you love me.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you
that will be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love
for you, so that you will know I love you, even when you cannot see me.

Regardless of how selfish and childish and unlovable you may be,
this new companion will accept you as you are and will love you
as I do, in spite of yourself.”
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam.
And it was a good animal. And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and he wagged
his tail. And Adam said, “But Lord, I have already named all the
animals in the Kingdom and all the good names are taken and
I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”
And God said, “No problem! Because I have created this new
animal to be a reflection of my love for you, his name will be a
reflection of my own name, and you will call him DOG.”
And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and
loved him. And Adam was comforted. And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that Adam’s guardian angel came to
the Lord and said, “Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He
struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is worthy
of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no
one has taught him humility.”
And the Lord said, “No problem! I will create for him a companion
who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The
companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know
that he is not worthy of adoration.”
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat
would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat’s eyes,
he was reminded that he was not the supreme being.
And Adam learned humility.
And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved.
And Cat did not care one way or the other.

I like cats, they taste just like chicken.

The two middle pics (how you skin a cat and the cooked cat) are NOT FUNNY. They are sick.

And I LOVE CATS, and they were not meant to be eaten, nor were dogs.
But the other pics from the other members are cute.

I don't think the "item" on the plate is a cat. It could be if you want it to be. The cat being operated on is no big deal. I had one that needed to have a total hysterectomy to save her life...she had three dead kittens in her, and she was toxic already from the dead kittens decomposing inside her uterus...so take it any way ya like it. She survived and is doing quite well, thank you! (We had to open her up just like the patch cat in the photo here).

I stand corrected. I just jumped to conclusions. I apologize. And LHA, I'm glad that your cat is doing fine.

My cat totally LOVES water...it eagerly eats the hottest Stagg and Wolf chili I can get, and it loves to sit and sleep in front of the stereo, listening to Led Zeppelin and other great oldies rock music. It's never turned up really loud...kitty has VERY good hearing. Kitty does not go for "rap crap", country, or that 'hip-hop' b.s. Funny, but the Kool Kitty (pronounced kit-TEEE) truly enjoys Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Fleetwood Mac, etc. One cool cat!Chases frogs out in the rain, and fusses loudly if it's not let outside when the rain comes. This odd kitty truly loves to be drenching wet! It plays in the rain and sloppy mud with my neighbor's rambunctious Queensland Heeler dog.

I'll have to sacn the pics, but I have some of the tiny kitty sitting in a bowl of water, like a mini pool. I'd just gotten it a week before. It was an orphan--no mother to care for it. I had a cereal bowl of water on the table in my RV bus...she just made herself right at home, got INTO the bowl of water and went to sleep. So, the myth that cats can't stand water is just that---a MYTH! The mothers teach them...so if a mother kitty loves water, her kittens will probably be taught to like it, too. When I wash dishes or shower, Kitty is RIGHT THERE, wanting in on the action! It also LOVES to go on walks in its harness. It happily stays right with me on the leash, better than most dogs---oh, and this cat ALWAYS comes when it's called. Again, better than many dogs! I think it is a dog reincarnated in a kitty's body. Gotta be!

Here's a cool kitty...

Don't you think you are being a bit ethnocentric?

I looked that word up, please explain in smaller words......

Ellen? Which Ellen? That one on the B**b-toob, "Ellen the DeGenerate"? My kitty has no interest when she's on, either. Kitty really likes The "A" Team, B. J. & The Bear, Hawaii Five-O, and Emergency! I think Kitty likes Dixie & her Cups on that show...who wouldn't? Fun to watch Kitty, anyway. I've never had a cat that purrrred so much as this one...a solid "purr" this kitty makes! Here, "Kit-n-Kat"!

I like the images of the cats doing the computer & mouse(so VERY CAT-like, huh?!), and the kitty in the pool, bathing cap and all. That's a real pool kitty--er, COOL kitty!

I have an old photo somewhere of a cat I had sitting in my old 1948 CATerpillar #12 Road Grader, its paws on the steering wheel. I'll have to try to find that photo to post here. I have another of a newer cat climbing a ladder the way we do, one leg and one rung at a time.

Well if any of you know someone close to Vicksburg that wants a cat, I can fix them up! I gave away 5 Friday and still have 26 of the little "No minding" farts running around. I just did not realize that they are like rabbits until...... LOL

Seriously, I am overjoyed for you cat fanciers with your little kitties all dressed up in their digital cammies and baby togs. I even have some friends who seem to think that my day won't be complete without a few dozen more cute-a**ed picture of wet kittens appearing unbidden in my e-mail.
Even more to the point I have, somewhere in my home at this very minute, a long-haired, smoosh-faced Persian varmint that can transform a quarter cup of Science Diet cat food (the one with the picture of the weird guy clutching his cat on the back of the bag) into 7 kilos of cat poop and 2 bushels of hair mostly shed on the kitchen table and in the bathroom sink.
I volunteered to watch said critter several months ago while its real owners went on vacation. After they came home they started dropping off bags of Science Diet, usually when I was away from home. I really like my neighbors and their kiddies, who dote on the cat which, in turn, scratches the hell out of them whenever they come to visit it.
This usurpation of my personal space has led me to introspection regarding cats in general. I have concluded:
Cats are fine, they should, like at least 2 others here on the farm, live outdoors and kill mice and such to survive. The notion of a critter that lives on artificial food with a picture of a weird guy on the back of the bag,living inside the house where its only contribution to daily life is gagging up an occasional hairball is silly. (neighbor said the cat needs brushing, didn't volunteer to brush it, figures, I don't have any hair ergo no brush)
Cats were domesticated to kill small rodents. Later they evolved into targets for dogs to chase, keeps them on their toes. I da**ed near flipped my Jeep a few weeks back swerving to miss an exceptionally stupid example of the feline species that felt inclined to cross the road while I was approaching at 70 mph. I missed it. Several days later it appears that the cat , having not learned s*** from its prior experience, tried again to cross the road in front of a moving vehicle. Didn't make it. Cat probably lived in the office of the agricultural products business in front of which it now lies in state. Had it been out in the warehouse killing mice and drinking pesticide residue, it would undoubtedly still be alive.
There are some valuable lessons here, one of which is that is it almost impossible to toss a cat far enough into the air to shoulder a shotgun before it hits the ground.
But I digress...
