Creation of the Dog and Cat

Adam said, "Lord, when I was in the garden, you walked with me every day.
Now I do not see you anymore. I am lonesome here and it is difficult for me
to remember how much you love me."
And God said, "No problem! I will create a companion for you that will be
with you forever 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 yourself."
And God created a new animal to be a companion for Adam. And it was a good
animal. And God was pleased. And the new animal was pleased to be with Adam
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 was a companion to him and loved him. And Adam
was comforted. And God was pleased. And Dog was content and wagged his tail.

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 he believes he is worthy of adoration. Dog has indeed
taught him that he is loved, but perhaps too well."
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 that he is not always worthy of
adoration."
And God created Cat to be a companion to 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 Dog was happy.
And Cat didn't give a sh*t one way or the other.
