    How can I tell whether my cat is praising the Lord? And what do I do if he isn't?

    Psalm 150:6 says that everything which breathes should praise the Lord.

    First of all, I am deliriously happy about this, because God wouldn't expect praise from a creature which could not understand the wonderful gift of salvation. Now that we've established that my beloved cat is capable of knowing the Lord, I feel renewed hope that he will be waiting for me on the other side of that rainbow bridge, in Heaven.

    Now then, let's get down to brass tacks: I can barely understand one word that comes out of my cat's mouth. Is there some way I can make sure he's praising the Lord with sufficient frequency?

    How do I even know if he's praising the Lord at all?

    I would hate to think he's always just trying to get me to give him kitty treats.

    Re: How can I tell whether my cat is praising the Lord? And what do I do if he isn't?

    Brother, I don't like to be the bearer of bad news, but I fear that the truth is that cats know not the Lord. The Bible tells us that all creatures should praise God, but, sadly, they do not all know of this direction.

    Also, cats are often used by witches in the casting of spells and other devilish work. They are suspect at best. I urge you to divest yourself of all cats and similar critters, as no good can come of them.

    Cats are loathsome creatures.

      If horses can go to Heaven (as indicated by Revelation 19:11-14) I assume cats can go there as well. And in case cats go to Hell instead, Luke 12:6 teaches us that God will never forget these cats which seems like a comforting thought to me. All dogs will go to Hell though, no doubt about it.

        My personal opinion is that all cats are demons who are sent to roam the Earth and spy for Satan.

            Re: How can I tell whether my cat is praising the Lord? And what do I do if he isn't?

            It is a conundrum to pose the question of whether cats (and for that matter all animals) are in need of Salvation as they did not participate in disobeying the Lord in the eating of the apple that lead to being cast out of the Garden of Eden and leading to original sin that we all inherit and for which Jesus had to temporarily die on the Cross for our Salvation.

            Despite whatever Satanic uses that cats have been put to by witches in the casting of spells, it does appear that God placed the cat on earth to assist mankind - at least from an historical perspective. The real evil here is the papist cathylick church and its role in banning the cat which lead to wiping out of a significant portion of the population of Europe during the "Black Death" (Bubonic Plague).

            How the Catholic Church Created the Black Death by Eradicating the "Satanic" House Cat

            Remember that the plague was spread by fleas that lived on rats. A viscious cycle kept the disease going. Infected fleas would bite a rat, and the rodent would become infected. Then other fleas biting the infected rat would become infected themselves. Once the host rat died of the plague, any fleas living on it would find themselves homeless and would go in search of a new host. Unfortunately, this often took the form of a human. When the sick infected fleas bit the human in order to feed, the human would become infected. So why didn’t the Europeans just keep plenty of cats around to kill the rats and thereby reduce the incidence of the plague? They had cats at the time. They were originally brought to Europe by the Romans, who had discovered the felines in Egypt. Keeping pet cats as mousers had become popular in Europe by the time of the first plague.

            To fully answer that question, you need to understand the belief system of medieval Europe. Based on historical accounts and medieval art, people during this period were prone to many superstitions. The Catholic Church was the most powerful entity in Europe at the time, and the masses were consumed with the presence of evil and eradicating it in any form it might be believed to take. Because of their secretive nature and their ability to survive extraordinary circumstances, the general population came to fear cats as consorts of Satan. The innocent cats began to be killed by the thousands.

            The cats ultimately got their revenge, of course. Since there were few felines left, the rat populations increased unchecked, and the plague grew even more widespread. You’d think that the humans would make the connection by this point, but instead, they made things even worse. They began to associate the plague’s new vigor with the cats and even with dogs. They believed that since both of these animals typically harbored fleas, they must be the cause of the plague. Subsequently, cats were outlawed in many parts of Europe, and huge numbers of cats and dogs were killed. In fact, at one point in the middle ages, there were barely any cats left in England at all.

            Even though cat ownership was illegal in some regions, a few people kept their felines. Other people finally noticed that these cat owners often seemed to be immune to the black plague. Word spread quickly, and more observations of this phenomenon were noticed. This resulted in research, crude as it was during the time.

            Eventually, it was decided that the rats, not the cats, were responsible for spreading the black plague. Then, of course, everyone wanted to own a cat or two. And since cats are prolific breeders, it didn’t take long for the demand to be satisfied. The laws which had been the cats’ death sentence were repealed. In many regions, a new law took its place – one that protected felines instead of banning them and almost causing their extinction in Europe.


            Ed Comment: This is a shocking account of how the ignorance of the catholic church created the conditions that lead up to the black death, one of the deadliest pandemics in human history, by simply associating the common house cat with satan. The black death is estimated to have killed 30% to 60% of…

              Just remember not to ask your cat if he is praising The Lord or listen if he answers. Speaking to an animal is dangerously close to having an animal as a familiar. You don't want to practice witchcraft by accident.

                Oh dear. I do usually read at least two or three hours worth of scripture to my cat every evening. Surely this is not a bad thing to do?

                  Would you trust something related to this?



                  Better safe than sorry, Brother.

                  They say cats can see in the dark, too...but why would they need to? What are they looking at? WHAT ARE THEY HIDING?

                    Thank you, Brother Godfly, for reminding us all of this great truth. It reminded me of the many sermons on that evil movie character, "Dr. Doolittle", Satan's tool to get children to follow him instead of Jesus.
                    Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.

                          All you need to know about cats is that they come in 3 basic varieties, all evil:

                          Black: witches' familiars
                          Ginger: need I even comment?
                          White: associates of men who seek world domination



                          What are they good for? Rodent control, which is totally unnecessary in a clean and Godly place such as Freehold.

                          Some of us (who have the misfortune to live in the squalor of foul Cathlick countries such as Italy, or surrounded by Mexicans) still have need of these monsters. I keep a calico cat, on the scientific basis that combining all 3 colors dilutes the evil. I have not seen a live rat all week, at least not in the house! But - and this is most important - I am careful not to look her directly in the eye.

                          FaithMachine, your cat is not praising the Lord. He is merely singing the song of his people, which is a paean to Satan.
