Response to comment [from a
Christian]: [Cutest cat award] "[L]ooks like one of the other cat owners
has a robo-voter..."
Why do you care
about this award?
Just be happy with your mutant feline.
My cat is horribly ugly but I am still grateful for
her.

"I don't have a good answer for why I care, except that he has been a faithful and loyal friend, and I want others to see him for the spectacular, God-made creature he is."
He is. Faithful and loyal. He sounds unique. My cat is friendly, but also demanding, with poor zanshin (heedlessness).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Thank you all..."
Do you think you'll see your cat in heaven?
"I don't know, but I hope so. The Bible doesn't say one way or the other about specific animals...although we are supposed to have a New Eden, which would imply animals are there. So I just pray that God holds my boy gently in His hands, and does what He thinks is best."
He will.
"Eccl 3:21: the spirit. Man’s breath or physical life appears on the surface to
be little different than that of an animal. In reality, man’s soul differs in
that God has made him eternal (cf. v. 11)." MacArthur, John Jr: The MacArthur
Study Bible. electronic ed. Nashville : Word Pub., 1997, c1997, S. Ec 3:21
He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in
their hearts, except that jno one can find out the work that God does from
beginning to end. j Job 5:9; Eccl. 7:23; 8:17; Rom. 11:33. The New King
James Version. Nashville : Thomas Nelson, 1982, S. Ec 3:11
