XLR8: Is it also true cats spits dis vicious venom that can blind your eyes??all wild animals over time learn how to be scared of snakes cos itz poisonous, cats emulate or mimic snakes especially when faced by an adversary cos of their small nature. a cats spit is harmless though they are susceptible to diphtheria and have very fast heart beats. 1 Like |

It was a long time ago I was probably 5 or 6. My friend Kamal and I dug a kitten buried under gravels. We were both confident the kitten was dead but suddenly, it was alive again and crying. My friend kamal did what was typical of his people, he put a knive to its neck and slitted the poor creatures throat. |

I hate cats and dogs to my bone. They are God's creatures but the problem started when demons and evil forces of darkness started using them to carryout their missions. Many yrs ago, my uncle met a cat in his kitchen and he immediately took a big stick to hit the cat, he hit the cat on its waist and the cat ran away. My uncle immediately felt a sharp pain in his own waist. The waist pain lasted for yrs, he went to hospitals, all to no avail. He was later healed in a church. This is just one of hundreds of cases about demonic cats that I have seen and heard. |

Do you know that if you eat or taste the hair on a cat's body (either fresh or roasted) you will have TB cough automatically? I have seen someone who did it out of curiosity and he got himself to blame till date. If you are still sitting down there expressing doubts, you can just do the experiment and come back to testify |

Its african mentality. Cats,bats,vultures etc are harmless animals but they are easier to manipulate by witches than the other animals, that's why people see them as horrible creatures. When I was little we had many cats but now I have just one cat and a parrot and they are so fond of me. I've never had any cause to worry about my cat and for this reason M̶̲̅Ɣ friends always tease me saying M̶̲̅Ɣ cat is the reason for M̶̲̅Ɣ hazel eyes..lol...I don't doubt it that cats are easy to manipulate by witches, what am tryna say here is that if you have a cat just be careful and prayerful that it won't be initiated cos they are one of the most vulnerable animals. Sometime this year a woman found a cat in her cup board and that cat was tying a red piece of cloth, with #500 in its mouth. The woman's money was always missing and the woman always accused her son of stealing her money, she always beat him and took him to the village, but the mysterious incident continued happening until a pastor prayed for her. On that faithful day, she went to take the #50,000 she kept in her cupboard the previous day only to see that the mysterious cat had eaten all the money remaining only the #500 in its mouth. The mysterious thing is that her cupboard was still locked when she opened it that morning,so how did the cat get in? This is really the handiwork of witches! |
