CNN has a story running about a kitten in South Bend, Indiana that supposedly has an image of Jesus in its fur. I watched the video and you have to REALLY stretch the limits of your imagination to look at the cat’s fur swirl and see what they want you to see.

On top of that I am growing tired of all the news stories being done any time someone sees anything that remotely looks like Jesus. Is there really not a more important news story to run or charity that could use some free air time? Running these “feel good” pieces only encourages people to try and get their 15 minutes of fame.

Why isn’t there ever an image of Buddha, Thor, or the Flying Spaghetti Monster? Now that may seem like a humorous question not to be taken seriously but I really want to point out how certain religions are marginalized even in the most mundane of ways.

But at least those gods aren’t being twisted to meet someone’s need for approval. What is sad is how the story is slanted… Good and Evil? Come on!

I’m glad the family doesn’t care if people think they are crazy. Personally I think they are worse than crazy, they are exploiting a kitten so they can get 15 minutes of fame.

And the reporter who drafted the story needs to be canned. The story starts out talking about how 4 kittens were found and then immediately talks about the 2 that were kept. So were the other 2 given away or did they die — you know, because Jesus didn’t love them as much???

I love my cats. I am glad that at least 2 of the kittens in this story have a good home. I guess I will just have to keep wondering about the other 2.
