"Creation"

After a while, it came to pass that Adam's guardian angel came to the Lord and said, "Lord, Adam has become filled with pride. He struts and preens like a peacock and believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed taught him that he is loved, but no one has taught him humility." And the Lord said, "No problem! I will create for him a companion who will be with him forever and who will see him as he is. The companion will remind him of his limitations, so he will know he is not worthy of adoration." And God created Cat to be a companion for Adam. And Cat would not obey Adam. And when Adam gazed into Cat's eyes, he was reminded that he was not the supreme being. And Adam learned humility. And God was pleased. And Adam was greatly improved. And CAT did not care one way or the other! On the first day of creation, God created the cat. On the second day, God created man to serve the cat. On the third day, God created all the animals of the earth to serve as potential food for the cat. On the fourth day, God created honest toil so that man could labor for the good of the cat. On the fifth day, God created the sparkle ball so that the cat might or might not play with it. On the sixth day, God created veterinary science to keep the cat healthy and the man broke. On the seventh day, God tried to rest; but He had to scoop the litterbox. In the morning of the world, God called all the animals together to divide among them the attributes they would need in life. The beasts crowded around Him, clamoring their wants--speed, strength, intelligence, beauty, courage--and only the cat remained apart, silent. She asked for nothing, but sat and watched; and when she saw the scorpion raise his tail and go to sting the foot of God, the cat pounced, seizing him in her paws and knocking him senseless. God saw this, and gave freely to the cat everything the others were demanding. That is why the scorpion lives his life in the dust, and why the cat smiles in her sleep. When God made the world, He chose to put animals in it, and decided to give each whatever it wanted. All the animals formed a long line before His throne, and the cat quietly went to the end of the line. To the elephant and the bear, He gave strength; to the rabbit and the deer, swiftness; to the owl, the ability to see at night; to the birds and the butterflies, great beauty; to the fox, cunning; to the monkey, intelligence; to the dog, loyalty; to the lion, courage; to the otter, playfulness. All these were things the animals begged of God. At last He came to the end of the line. There sat the little cat, waiting patiently. "What will you have?," God asked the cat. The cat shrugged modestly, "Oh, whatever scraps you have left over. I don't mind." "But I'm God. I have everything left over," He said. "Then I'll have a little bit of everything, please," replied the cat. And God gave a great shout of laughter at the cleverness of this small animal and gave the cat everything she asked for, adding grace and elegance and, only for her, a gentle purr that would always attract humans and assure her a warm and comfortable home. BUT HE TOOK AWAY HER FALSE MODESTY. by Lenore Fleischer from The Cat's Pajamas
