Apparently somebody didn't like my answer to the original version of this question. It was:
I forgot.... which verse in the Bible says "Thou shalt not hate cats"?
This is what is called a rhetorical question. It is a method of answering a question with a question. Should one follow through, one would find that there is no such admonition in the Bible, therefore, extrapolating, one finds that hating cats has nothing to do with being a Christian.
Whence cometh my question. Why would somebody have a disupute with my answer.
The reason given was "Not a question or answer" Obviously, it was both.
Sooo, what's the deal? Am I stupid and can't recognize questions and answers? Or is there somebody who doesn't understand rhetorical questions.
Anybody else.... Do you thing my answer inapprorpiate? Do you thing that it failed to address the question given?
I'm kind of at a loss.

It seems that some of you are not reading my post properly. My rhetorical question was posted as an ANSWER. Rhetorical questions ARE ANSWERS.
That's the whole point.

I don't know how appropriate the answer was, but why bother with anyone who doesn't like cats anyway? I'm christian, I love cats, have 3 of them. Have dogs too. Have no patience for people who don't like animals whether they're christian or not. We are to be good stewards to the creatures God gave us, I take that to mean to respect and care for them.
Course, that doesn't really apply to snakes, aligators and bugs for the simple reason they kinda gross me out.

Breg? in case you meant to variety brag then... i don't extremely look after poodles or pit bulls yet not something approximately being a Christian (on the different faith that i'm familiar with) does not tell me i'm undesirable guy merely for disliking 2 breeds of dogs. some human beings hate snakes, spiders, bees....huge deal.

My mother hated cats.Her baby brother was killed by a cat.
The baby was sleeping the cat jumped into the baby bed.While licking the milk from his face, suffocated him.
My mother hated cats ,till one day a cat showed up on her porch. In the snow and she took it in.She loved that cat for many years.
Some people have reasons.

Possibly because it's asinine and bigoted.
