Why is the cat not in the bible?

Answer 1

For a positive, authoritative answer, you'd probably have to ask the author.

However, that doesn't mean that I'm not foolish enough to speculate: My guess is that there was

no significant lesson to be taught or learned by means of an episode involving a cat.

Much like the elephant, the monkey, the penguin, the giraffe, the Arctic fox, the vole, the gnu,

the ibex, the aardvark, the albatross, the zebra, the sloth, the anteater, the naked mole rat, the

mosquito, the cicada, the octopus, the crayfish, the lobster, the squid, the whale, the panda, etc.
