Cool Cats

popehair

According to The New York Times, CATholic cat lovers around the world are quite imPURRessed with Pope Benedict XVI's exceptionALLEY strong aPAWreciation of felines. Apparently the President of the Bible is a well-known cat fancier who often accommodates strays of Rome and who adorns his home with cat figurines. A cat's even penned a book about the Pope (with the help of a creepy Italian journalist, of course. Cats cant type, silly!).

Indeed, the guy loves him some cats, but at least one papist thinks this affection is indicative of something else: That being that Il Papa is the Lord: " … I believe it shows that God lives in a person," says Jan Fredericks of Wayne, NJ, owner of nine cats and, perhaps, yet another vessel of God. Also God: My friend Kristen, who promptly bought three cats when her boyfriend left her.

    yes but do you have a gay cat named zander that wears a purple bedazzled collar? if not i still beat you in god status because he really does count as a dozen cats.

    Weird that you ask that! I don't have a gay cat named Zander but I do have a gay cat named Zephyr who has a purple bedazzled collar. Oh yeah, I bedazzled it myself. So I guess I really have 23 cats if the gay bedazzled collared cat counts as a dozen. God status is mine.

    I love cats :). I miss mine so much, she was even sweet to my spawn when the girl would squeeze her and drag her around the house. I am also Catholic so it pleases me that the Pope is a cat fancier.

    Doesn't the Pope look so cute here?! I used to slick up my babies hair up just like this.

    I have some cute collars that I could try on him and take his picture!!

    OOOH I just want to pinch his cheeks!

    Peace be with you.
