Actually the topic is relevant to a new USA survey on religion. Atheism - More of them then Christians. Europe is fare ahead on this.

Because cats have strong ties to the internet, and the internet is full of atheist scum.

Need to join friends on the beach for some liquid refreshment, so I will leave you with this to skim.

Leopards and Ants - Bats -
CAT. — Mention of this animal occurs only once in the Bible, namely Bar., vi, 21. The original text of Baruch being lost, we possess no indication as to what the Hebrew name of the cat may have been. Possibly there was not any; for although the cat was very familiar to the Egyptians, it seems to have been altogether unknown to the Jews, as well as to the Assyrians and Babylonians, even to the Greeks and Romans before the conquest of Egypt. These and other reasons have led some commentators to believe that the word cat, in the above cited place of Baruch, might not unlikely stand for another name now impossible to restore.

Utterly false. Piss-poor scholarship there.

Ah well you got me to look at that text again.
namely Bar., vi, 21. The original text of Baruch being lost, we possess no indication as to what the Hebrew name of the cat may have been.
So Catholic such as they are admit the text was lost nor do they even know the Hebrew name of a Cat. The very same Catholics that have the answer about saving your soul.
Catholics clearly do not know how to use Google to find such.
a pretty male cat = khatul yafeh (חתול יפה) a pretty female cat = khatulah yafah (חתולה יפה)
spirit cat (male cat) = khatool rookhani (חתול ×¨×•×—× ×™) spirit cat (female cat) = khatoolah
In our example of the CAT, the Hebrew word to describe this animal sounds phonetically as "KAT-UL". Katul is derived from the three-letter root [chet, tav, lamed] or phonetically K.T.L., that means, "to wrap around". Clearly those who are familiar with cats know that one of their favorite positions is to "wrap around themselves" in some corner and sleep. The word KAT-UL therefore, is a precise description of one of the most visible characteristics of the cat. Interestingly enough, the root K.T.L is also the source of the Hebrew word "KI-TUL" [chet, yod, tav, vav, lamed] which means "a diaper". Since a diaper is usually wrapped around the baby, it is logical that it will be derived from the same K.T.L. root. In English, of course, both words are based on mere agreement and there is no connection between a diaper and a cat.
Hell I can find all sorts of ways Jesus the Jew would be able to say Khatul.

The oldest domesticated cat remains (from around 9500 years ago) have been found buried with trinkets on (the later Greek settled and Assyrian conquered) Cyprus. These predate cats in Egyptian art by a few thousand years. There are 8-9th century BC Assyrian carvings depicting cats. Cats are mentioned in several ancient Greek dramas. There is mention of cats in ancient Babylonian mythology and the Zoroastrianism the Jews were exposed to during the Babylonian exile. It's hard to believe that the Jews who lived in the middle of all these cultures (allegedly spending time in Egypt, and most certainly spending time in Babylon) somehow remained ignorant of domesticated cats.

> somehow remained ignorant of domesticated cats.
Until this moment I was ignorant of the history of cats other then the Egyptian stuff. Perhaps the Jews during Egyptian times decided to ignore cats as a Biblical mention re the Cats fared more better then the Jews?
