PLOUGHMAN'S LUNCH
  
SOMETHING TO CHEW OVER FROM THE WORD

I invite all bloggers to read and make a comment on my blog posts. This includes those who agree with me, those who disagree with me and those who are indifferent. The only thing I ask - no, INSIST UPON - is that responses are courteous and respectful. Failure to observe this will result in post deletion and repeated failure will result in your being banned from my blog altogether. In return I will be courteous and respectful back to you even if I disagree very strongly with what you have said.

I prefer you to make short-ish comments and using your own words to express your own opinions. You will of course wish to quote scripture to back up your opinion, but a post consisting of a long list of scriptures, or one which is "cut and pasted" from elsewhere, is almost certain to be deleted.

Cats!! What are they good for? Oct 5, 2008 4:39 am

What is the point of owning a cat? This is not an anti-cat post - I genuinely want to know the answer.

I have never owned a cat or a dog. I quite like dogs, or to be more accurate I like other people's dogs. I don't think I could be bothered to do all that is necessary to look after one properly. But I can see what people get from owning a dog - companionship, loyalty, perhaps a feeling of security if it's a big dog!

But cats? They spend all day wandering off on their own business, come back to get fed, then clear off again. So what is the point of having one?

And another point. My niece, who owns 3 cats, says "You don't own a cat, a cat owns you". If this is true then surely a Christian shouldn't have a cat at all, since "no man can serve two masters" {and our master is God}.

Anyone like to correct my ignorance?
