Thought for the day.....

"""During Pope Gregory IX’s term, he declared that cats were associated with devil worship, resulting in their mass extermination."""

[Big Skyz]

Well they didn't do a good enough job with that extermination process!

[BarryBobPosthole]

Most Catholics I know don’t have cats at mass. Is that so they don’texterminate them?

Devil worship? Ha ha ha ha! Pure brilliance! It's a wonder the dufe didn't start burning witches! :booty

Oh well, if we're gonna dig back into ancient times ... I'd say the Egyptians were a pretty intelligent group. Heck, the ancient Egyptians revered, praised, and even worshiped cats.

Or, your being a farmer and all, should appreciate cats. The Norse goddess Freyja rode in a chariot pulled by two giant gray cats given to her by the god Thor. Farmers left offerings for the cats in order to ensure a good harvest.

Or, in Chinese culture, a cat god called Li Shou was worshiped by farmers because he protected the crops from being eaten by rats and mice.

Or, in ancient Poland, Ovinnik, who appeared in the form of a black cat, was worshiped by many farming families because he watched over domestic animals and chased away evil-natured ghosts and spirits.

Then there's Ai-Apaec, a god of the pre-Inca civilization known as the Mochica, was said to have evolved from an ancient cat god and to be able to assume the form of a tomcat.

And Greek mythology tells of how the goddess Hecate assumed the form of a cat in order to escape the monster Typhon. Afterwards, she extended special treatment to all cats.

Don't forget Ceridwen, the Welsh goddess of wisdom and mother of the famous bard Taliesin, was attended by white cats who carried out her orders on Earth.

Heck, I could continue on with the big cats ... jaguars, tigers and leopards, etc, but I'm sure you get the point.

In honor of Jimmy, my favorite cat joke: "How do you make a cat go WOOF? Pour gas on them and throw them in the fireplace...WOOF!!!"

Big Sky, the version I heard was "Do you know how to make a cat bark like a dog? Pour gas on it and light a match...WOOF!"

Still funny no matter how it's told.

Still my favorite....

Fluffy The Camp Cat

It's 5am in deer camp and the alarm goes off. You wake up. It's been a

cold and sobering night of hard sleep, after an evening filled with

discussion and chatter of where to hunt, what you have seen, strategies

to find the big one, wives, girlfriends, football, and of course several

cups of your favorite bourbon to keep you warm. You put on a pot of

coffee and throw a frozen breakfast burrito in the microwave, still

rubbing the sleep from your eyes, while the rest of the weekend warriors

rise to the smell of the fresh Folgers and burning desire. You flip on

the porch light to walk outside, and much to your surprise, there's

Fluffy......

That one always creeps me out. We have a cat that looks exactly like that one. Her name’s GG. Sweetest cat you’d ever know. She sleeps every night on my pillow layin’ against the top of my head. 😢

I'd rather have a rabid coon, sleeping on my pillow. ;)

QA, that is one funny cartoon!

[LJ3]

Hopefully it's still funny when you're all in hell!
