Why aren't cats in the bible?

CAT. — Mention of this animal occurs only once in the Bible, namely Bar., vi, 21. The original text of Baruch being lost, we possess no indication as to what the Hebrew name of the cat may have been. Possibly there was not any; for although the cat was very familiar to the Egyptians, it seems to have been altogether unknown to the Jews, as well as to the Assyrians and Babylonians, even to the Greeks and Romans before the conquest of Egypt. These and other reasons have led some commentators to believe that the word cat, in the above cited place of Baruch, might not unlikely stand for another name now impossible to restore.

The Book of Baruch, found in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate translations of the Bible, mentions a cat.

They were sacred to Egyptians, so probably the Hebrews didn't want to mention them.

I don't think they were domesticated back then by the Hebrews. For sure dogs were not pets by them then.

Probably only wild cats in the desert.

Because cats are Satan's most evil demons. They suck people's souls right out of their ectoplasms.

Are not lions cats?

cats weren't important.

Christians dont believe in cats.

Never heard of a lion?
