How The Cat Came To Be

In memory of Dumbledore (Dumbie) who went for a walk and did not return.

Have you ever wondered the enigma that is the cat? One moment they purr and rub against your leg. The next they shred your favorite pillow. What is behind this double-edged behavior? Contemplate the possibility the creation of the cat was a project, begun in good faith, between God and his son, Samael.

Cats have been cherished pets for centuries. Egyptians worshiped the feline. From multi-colored to solid black, we love how soft and warm they feel. Their purr soothes the most frazzled mind. We are astonished when they morph from a loving ball of fur to a nasty demon from hell.

Like sweet and sour, God and Samael seasoned the enigmatic cat with many details of their distinctive personalities. I’ll leave it to you who provided what.

  1. Cats like to cuddle. They rub their head against your chin and purr softly in your ear. You curl up with them in a chair by the fire, content as any two can be. Then when you feel most comfortable, they bite you for no reason.
  2. As a show of affection, cats brush back and forth against your leg; you go “Awwww such innocent creatures.” Then, after an early morning romp in the yard they return to your door and display their favorite gift of a dead mouse or chipmunk, laid at your feet, with up turned eyes that say, “Look what I brought you Mommy!”
  3. When feeling a bit under the weather, cats like being pet; at least my cat does. You contact the vet with your concerns. $75 later you return home with medication to ease their pain. Then when you try to give them the wonder drug, they claw you to death.

The adored animal we call cat , a reflection of thoughts on love and loathing in a last-ditch effort by God to connect with his son, Satan, before his fall.
