Yes, I totally agree that humankind is the epitome of God’s creation here on Earth (praise God!); I was just taking up for the amazing abilities of our pet friends. That’s really special about your cat responding to music in very precise ways. I never noticed mine liking a particular composition, just a particular type of music.
As for my cat responding to prayers, I think humans emit alpha waves during those times, and cats (and probably dogs, too) can pick up on those non-verbal “vibes”. A former cat of mine was like radar when it came to people who were not good to be around. Dogs are known for that, but some cats can do it, too.
What I have found over the many years of a succession of cats and dogs, is that they have unique personalities and have distinct capabilities one from another.
Yes...I have had 4 dogs, and ALL different personalities.
I believe that cat owners could say the same.
I am a Believer in Christ, and have no problem believing in Special Creation and Intelligent Design, and I truly believe that God put special creatures here for our companionship.
