Where Do Cats Come From?

A newly discovered chapter in the Book of Genesis has provided the
answer to the question, "Where do pets come from?"

Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me
everyday. Now I don't see you anymore. I'm lonesome here and it's
difficult for me to remember how much you love me."

And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will
be with you forever and who will be a reflection of my love for you,
so that you will love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of
how selfish or childish or unlovable you may be, this new companion
will accept you as you are and will love you as I do, in spite of
yourself."

And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a
good animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be
with Adam and he wagged his tail. And Adam said, "Lord, I have already
named all the animals in the Kingdom and I cannot think of a name for
this new animal."

And God said, "No problem, because I have created this new animal to
be a reflection of my love for you. His name will be a reflection of
my own name, and you will call him 'Dog.'"

And Dog lived with Adam and was a companion to him and loved him. And
Adam was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and
wagged his tail. After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian
angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with
pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and he believes he is
worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but
perhaps too well."

And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who
will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion
will remind him of his limitations, so he will know that he is not
always worthy of adoration."

And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam. And Cat would not obey
Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was
not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility.

And God was pleased. And Adam was pleased. And the Dog was pleased.

And.... the Cat didn't care one way or the other.
