A cat is not a lion, though some may think they are! There is no mention of cats in the Bible. Dogs are viewed in one of two ways. There were wild dogs (1 Kings 14:11, 16:4), which many Bible verses address, such as calling enemies of Israel ‘dogs’ but there were also ‘work’ and ‘guard’ dogs used by the Israelites, as noted in Job 30:1, Exodus 22:31 and numerous other Scriptures. Even in the Book of Tobit (Apocrypha), there is reference to what must have been a dog kept as a pet by Tobias. (Tobit 5:16, 11:4) No such luck for cats.
As Sir Winston Churchill once said, “I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.” I agree to a degree. II, too, am fond of pigs, especially roasted, or fried as chops or bacon. I believe his comments on cats and dogs are certainly accurate!
Too many species of cats to mention perhaps, whereas there are fewer dog species that I can see.
A common prey animal of cats and dogs does get a mention in the Bible, that being the mouse. (Hebrew word is “akbar”, hence the phrase “Allah is a mouse”.)
