Our cat doesn’t like Jesus on the cross.
My wife has written about this. My alter ego, Unfinished Person, has written about this. Now today, our cat, Seamus, which is a good Catholic name but in name only as will soon become evident, exhibited his dislike again for R. Lord and R. Savior on the cross.
Now admittedly, this time he might have had a reason though since my wife put these two tacky Christmas ornaments on the nails in Jesus’ hands:
Actually, I think he was batting at the rosary. I guess he doesn’t like Jesus’ mother either on a necklace.
Funny thing is we were trying to get a picture of him trying to grab the palm fronds from today’s Palm Sunday Mass, but he was more interested in playing with the rosary beads.
I guess in Seamus’ tiny mind, what’s good for the Son is good for the Mother.



Cats are known to hate anything heavenly. Aren’t they the spawn of the devil or something?? Or am I thinking of something completely different? I need another drink.
I think you’re thinking of gargoyles.
I’ll have another drink too. What’s on tap tonight?
I just finished reading all three posts – laughing.
” because it seems really wrong to hotglue Jesus to the cross” – LOL
Well, Seamus may need some new, unholy toys to bat at.
I love the first picture – kitty thumbs !
You know what? I’m not very observant. I didn’t even notice the kitty thumbs until you pointed them out to me. Too neat.
In my wife’s defense, she rocks. I just wish she’d blog more…:(
Cats are evil so it doesn’t surprise me. I know of no other animal that consistently wakes me up at 4 am.
Our cat is actually a sweetheart…:)
I’ve met Seamus. He is the sweetest cat I have ever met. Even sweeter than my own. (Shhh. Don’t tell.)
Love Jesus’ bling. Dude’s got it goin’ on.
I won’t tell your husband, at least not yet. But I’ll keep it in the back of my mind for blackmail in the future.
Um, about Jesus’ bling: um, no.
Cats were worshiped as gods in the centuries before Jesus, and they’re not going to let some guy nailed to some wood try to steal their thunder.
The thing is Christians subscribe to the theory that “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God” and that that Word was Jesus, so that trumps any cat-gods.
Yeah, Seamus is just asking for equal time, worship-wise. However, I wouldn’t recommend sticking him on the wall.
Now THAT is probably true. He does like to have all the attention.
