Like god, he can answer "yes", "no" and "not right now."

At least it would be possible to prove the cat exists.

That's it. I'm done with religion! I cannot prove your cat doesn't answer prayers and, as the late, great Douglas Adams once said, without proof I am nothing. Goodbye religious world! ...(*Leaps back to reality...*)
Actually, "Lion Of Judah" - I think your dear Punch was deaf.

Dear Laptop Jesus - No, I can't prove anything but it sure would be nice if I stopped getting the "No" and "Not right now" answers.

Animals lack belief in God. Are they atheistic? Should we include atheists and infants and plants and rocks and water and air in the category of atheism since they too lack belief in God? Of course not.
I had a cat named Punchface. (Its a long story.) Punchface was a beautiful cat with long white hair and powder blue eyes. He was very smart, even brilliant. He could play tag, fetch, play hide and seek, catch mice with Olympian skill, and enjoy an evening of watching Star Trek with me. I would defend completely the fact that he had quite a personality. As brilliant as my cat was, he lacked belief in God. I could have sat him down, looked him in the eye and said, "Punch, there is something I have to talk to you about. Its God. You see, God is the being that created the universe and everything in it, including you and me." Of course, after I would say this, Punch would probably say, "meow" and go chase a piece of air-born lint. He had no concept whatsoever of God. Does that mean my dear cat Punchface was an atheist? Of course not. He was only a cat, even if he is a brilliant one.
Nevertheless, the atheist will assert that the position of "lack of belief" relates only to sentient beings. This would be a necessary position given that cats cannot be atheistic; that is, they can't make a choice to accept or deny God's existence. Therefore, the atheist should amend his statement and say something like "As a person, I lack belief," or "I have decided to lack belief in God," or "Lacking belief in God is a position for sentient beings only." This would negate my cat as being included since to describe an atheistic position as simply "lacking belief" is too broad.

Dear Laptop Jesus...
I think that if I believe that your cat can answer my prayers and I mean REALLY truly believe it, that he will.
I think he can.

CATS....I wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are that much in tune with God.
My little canine daughter WAS the answer to my prayers. Did you know that dog spelled backwards is "God."?

Well tell that damn cat to send Tonks money. And do it NOW. Thanks. (About $800.00 will do, gotta pay the rent.)
