No, Christians hate dogs. 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! Well, the quote was in the Wiki link. I was being a bit facetious. But this Tutu poster said the favorite pet of Christians is dogs. I just thought that was silly.

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.

Proof that the bible is hogwash! Cats are everywhere and they are beloved and always have been! Right Catman 猫的主人 ?

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."

Best not to take the Bible seriously.
