I have two cats and two dogs. The two cats Big Bro and Lil’ Sis were dropped off and left by their mother 10 years ago. They have been a source of comfort especially since the passing of my parents 9 years ago. The dogs. . .Doogie and Doggie Dog (a 13 year old beagle who is miraculously alive) are among my best friends. You must have had an unfortunate experience with cats earlier in your life. Just remember God created them, too. (Smile)
It’s another question entirely exactly WHY He created them. My answer differs considerably from yours....
