Where Dogs & Cats Come From?
Adam and Eve said, “Lord, when we were in the garden, you walked with us
every day. Now we do not see you any more. We are lonesome here, and it is
difficult for us to remember how much you love us.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be
with you and who will be a reflection of my love for you, so that you will
love me even when you cannot see me. Regardless of how selfish or childish
or unlovable you may be, this new companion will accept you as you are and
will love you as I do, in spite of yourselves.”
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam and Eve.
And it was a good animal.
And God was pleased.
And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam and Eve and he wagged his
tail.
And Adam said, “Lord, I have already named all the animals in the Kingdom
and I cannot think of a name for this new animal.”
And God said, “No problem. Because I have created this new animal to be a
reflection of my love for you, his name will be a reflection of my own
name, and you will call him
DOG.”
And Dog lived with Adam and Eve and was a companion to them and loved them.
And they were comforted.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was content and wagged his tail.
After a while, it came to pass that an angel came to the Lord and said,
“Lord, Adam and Eve have become filled with pride. They strut and preen
like peacocks and they believe they are worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed
taught them that they are loved, but perhaps too well.”
And God said, “No problem! I will create for them a companion who will be
with them and who will see them as they are. The companion will remind them
of their limitations, so they will know that they are not always worthy of
adoration.”
And God created CAT to be a companion to Adam and Eve.
And Cat would not obey them. And when Adam and Eve gazed into Cat’s eyes,
they were reminded that they were not the supreme beings.
And Adam and Eve learned humility.
And they were greatly improved.
And God was pleased.
And Dog was happy.
And Cat didn’t give a darn one way or the other.

It would be very inconvenient and confusing if cats were called dogs and dogs were called cats because when I go to feed my pets I would feed them the wrong food. The cats don't like dogfood. Although the dogs do like catfood sometimes.

And God said, "Let there be cats and dogs." It just is. Why are you named Sexy Gal? It's just a name someone somewhere along the way decided to use. You're getting way too philosophical here.
