A question for the ages: Are cats for true Christians?

(This is what you find if you Google the phrase “for true,” which I have taken to using as a synonym for “really.” Example: “Josh is really the most handsome man alive, isn’t he?” “For true.” I don’t know whether I made up this annoying usage or whether there is precedent. Google has proven unhelpful.)

The Bible does not say that cats were not present at Herod’s birthday party when John the Baptist was beheaded. History shows that cats were most likely present at this tragic party that Jehovah did not approve of. Clearly then, as loyal Christians, why would we even want to associate with animals that are without a doubt of such bad influence, remembering how true are the Bible’s words: ‘Bad associations spoil useful habits’! -1 Cor. 15:33. Some have exposed themselves to possible spiritual contamination in this way. To invite cats in our house is to toy with disaster. Can one deny that the chance exists that the same grave consequences could visit your home that fell upon John? Clearly, God disapproved of this ‘birthday’ party. Should we not then disapprove (without showing any malicious intent, only Godly hatred) of cats the way the scriptures recommend?
