As we all know, cats are no mere mortal creatures but deities. As such, many of them have their own area of expertise; some of the more famous Greek examples are Gods such as Poseidon (sea, horses, earthquakes), Aphrodite (love, beauty and passion), Ares (war, bloodshed). Lower down you get characters such as Iris (rainbows), Priapus (fertility), Momus (blame, mockery and harsh criticism) and Peitho (persuasion and seduction).

Of course many authors like the sainted Terry Pratchett had their own pantheons with some Gods who were that were a little less - how shall I put this - less majestic in their realms of responsibility. Aniger (squashed animals), Bilious (Oh God of hangovers), Petulia (negotiable affection).

So all our cats should have something they are a God or Goddess of, lets hear about yours.

I'll start things off with Girlcat - she is definitely the Goddess of hairballs. Tobias of course is the God of liquid poo.

The god of wastepaper baskets. They are his and his alone. No rubbish may be placed in them, because they now all need to stand ready for when he may choose to curl up in one, or sit regally with just his head peeping out.
