Dulcie said there were no cats in the Bible, but Kit wasn't sure she believed that. Why would there be horses and cows and dogs, wild pigs and weasels, but no cats? Why, when everyone knew that a little cat would have to be God's favorite?
Dulcie expressed her belief that the Bible does not mention cats, but Kit found this hard to accept. She pondered the presence of various animals such as horses, cows, and dogs in the scriptures, questioning why cats were omitted. Kit felt that cats, with their charming and unique nature, would certainly hold a special place in God's creation.
This debate sparked Kit's imagination, leading her to think about the significance of cats in the world. For Kit, it seemed improbable that such a beloved creature could be neglected in a holy text, emphasizing her belief that cats should be acknowledged among God's favored animals.
