Domestic cats were never mentioned in the Bible. Not once. But, domestic cats were certainly known to people during Biblical times - for example, the ancient Egyptians had domestic cats going back many centuries.

"Beauty and sufficiency -- twin qualities of the cosmos itself -- are the gods of this unshackled and pagan type; to the worshipper of such eternal things the supreme virtue will not be found in lowliness, attachment, obedience, and emotional messiness. This sort of worshipper will look for that which best embodies the loveliness of the stars and the worlds and the forests and the seas and the sunsets, and which best acts out the blandness, lordliness, accuracy, self-sufficiency, cruelty, independence, and contemptuous and capricious impersonality of the all governing Nature. Beauty -- coolness -- aloofness -- philosophic repose -- self-sufficiency -- untamed mastery -- where else can we find these things incarnated with even half the perfection and completeness that mark their incarnation in the peerless and softly gliding cat, which performs its mysterious orbit with the relentless and obtrusive certainty of a planet in infinity?" HP Lovecraft

The authors probably thought talking about cats was beneath them.

However, dogs are mentioned 27 times, usually unfavorably. This particular verse could apply to the current GOP over Trump’s treasonous actions. Isaiah 56:10-11 His watchmen are blind, All of them know nothing. All of them are mute dogs unable to bark, Dreamers lying down, who love to slumber; And the dogs are greedy, they are not satisfied And they are shepherds who have no understanding; They have all turned to their own way, Each one to his unjust gain, to the last one.Sounds a lot like the pack of Trump-defenders-devotees running wild and snarling and snapping on the PolBoard

They also failed to mention dinosaurs, who—we know—lived side by side with humans. I reckon some pages are missing.

It also fails to mention that everyone in the Bible was essentially a 'Sand n****r'.
So we must assume that white people have the same standing in the Bible as cats.

The closest the Bible has ever come to describing a dinosaur is in Job 41 where God describes it as the king of beasts in the New Living Translation.

What about Hezekiah 12:14: "And God shall smitith in his wrath - oh get off my parchment you little mischief maker. You're so cute. You're just the cutest little cute cute. Yes you are. Yes you are."
He was obviously writing with a cat in his tent.

He was obviously writing with a cat in his tent. And on that note, I am going to log out and go to bed so my precious kitty can curl up next to me to sleep. He's been whining for about a half hour... he has plenty of food and water, he just needs his mama!

Regardless of what the bible mentions, I've found most Christians to be dog people. Not sure if that means anything, just like this topic probably doesn't mean anything.

I would be interested to know where that quote is from. And, if that quote is correct (about what is said in the bible), then what about poor St. Francis of Assisi, from the 13th century, and all the Franciscans after him, who loved and cared for all of god's creatures? Are they in hell? Edit: I like this quote better!

BUT...they are mentioned frequently in Shakespeare. 39 times in 18 of the 37 plays (The First Folio plus Pericles). And speaking of Pericles:
The Cat, with eyne of burning coal, Now couches fore the mouse’s hole
And Henry IV, Part 1: I am as vigilant as a cat to steal cream
Cats come up 4 times in Romeo and Juliet. My favorite:
Tybalt: "What wouldst thou have with me?" Mercutio: "Good King of Cats, nothing but one of your nine lives, that I mean to make bold withal, and, as you shall use me hereafter, dry-beat the rest of the eight."
