Just keep um out of the TULIP bed :>)
The thing about cats is they tell you how to order your life for their comfort.....gotta love an animal that owns ya..
You better stop, before I get all Theological on ya. ;-)
Personally (and I speak only for myself), Cats affirm for me the great "conundrum" between Free Will and Predestination, like no other Creatures of which I am aware.
Who could deny, that Cats are "predestined" to chase mice?
And who could deny, that Cats are "predestined" to bathe themselves in the sun?
And who could deny, that Cats are "predestined" to strut about their demesnes, the Lords of all they survey?
Yet... they do all this... of their own free will.
Cats do exactly as they feel like doing.... whatever is in their personal nature to do.
Spurgeon said that "Free Will" and "Predestination" are no more in "conflict" than two people who are madly in love with eachother.
Me, I see what he is saying... in Cats.
Think about it.
Just my theological contribution for the night.
