Gregariousness and emotion are not hard characteristics of Christianity. Jesus was not the happy-go-lucky guy that liberals and many heretical evangelicals make him out to be.

I didn’t mention that stuff. But to amplify the question, looking at the relationship a dog has with his owner vs the relationship a cat has with his owner (again, talking about the generic traits of the two animals), which most closely mirrors the relationship a Christian has with God?

And when I say generic traits, I mean like when I say that generally speaking men are taller than women and women have bigger breasts. i.e. “depends on the animal” is not a serious answer.

What did/do witches usually have as familiars?

But I'm not sure that really matters, since I don't think animals' relationships with us are meant to mirror His.

God created both dogs and cats for our companionship. I've had several cats, and every one of them has been wonderfully loving and attached.....there was never anything lacking in our relationships.
