Dogma and Catechisms

Disclaimer: our family has a cat AND a dog. Are we cat or dog people? We’re animal people. Well, we’re not reptiles, amphibians, birds, insects or spider people. We’re mammal people. Well, we don’t have any other mammals but a cat and a dog. We had a gerbil and a hamster once. But they didn’t agree with the cat. It was a traumatic experience.

In other words, I think if dogs go to heaven, cats will too. Cat haters will have to figure out how to get along with all God’s creatures. I’m just praying flies and mosquitoes will not make an appearance there.

Why kids love pets

It took a long time for me to allow a pet into our family. In fairness, we tried to own a dog once before and it went wrong quickly. We weren’t prepared, the kids were too young and we went on the first dog our son fell in love with.

The next pet came to our doorstep three years later. The kitten knew which house had the daughter in love with cats. He ended being one of the best cats I ever saw (once we learned how to keep him from destroying our Christmas tree!).

Why do kids love pets so much?

When they feel cared for, kids like to return the favor.
They want to be responsible. Everyone wants to feel like they can be depended on.
We all feel an attachment to nature. Even city dwellers like to know there is a wild, natural world out there.
We all want a companion

If you feel like it is time to own a pet, learn from our mistake and do your research first. I nearly kept my kids from a great experience because I wasn’t prepared the first time. Now we have a dog and a cat. And what do you know? Over the years, those two pets have taught everyone about conflict resolution. Dogs and cats can live in harmony!

Kitty’s so Vain

Illustration of a cat admiring her reflection in a mirror. A dog looks on.
It’s so hard to be humble when the hair on your face is so luxurious. I’m sure that’s what my cat said to me this morning. She knows I’m jealous because she can grow better facial hair than I could ever hope to achieve.
