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.

What is it with cats and jigsaw puzzles? My jigsaw puzzling new hobby was very short-lived indeed.😂

Actually, I think Boy cat could be God of hallway blocking

Thank you for the cat tax! My old boy was pts yesterday - he was God of echoes and I will miss his mighty tunnel yowl and little chirrups.

So sorry to hear that @Monvelo . He was very cute, and looks like a real character.

Oscar, God of Sleeping on the Stairs (right near the top, especially at night 😱)

Pippi. Disruptor of sleep.

That was definitely the late Cheddar. Had to make biscuits on my face at 3am.

InQuiresandplaceswheretheysing · 18/09/2026 12:07

@Monvelowhat a handsome boy!

Breadcat24 · 18/09/2026 12:09

@Monvelo he was beautiful! so sorry

Micia would either be the Goddess of the Dark- as when she closes her eyes she disappears or The Supreme Ruler of the Under Bed Space when feeling nervous

Madamecholetsbonnet · 18/09/2026 12:51

Boy cat. God of Fly Catchers. He’s Olympic standard.

BestZebbie · 18/09/2026 15:51

Goddess of tunnels/dens/caves and also of boundary markers and guards.

TonyDancer · 18/09/2026 15:55

My boy would be the God of Asda. Their Tiger brand cat food is like crack to him 🐈‍⬛

Furby, God of small shoeboxes

If i fits, I sits

Mine would be God of Laundry.
He can be at the bottom of the neighbour’s garden but he senses me changing the bedding and comes running upstairs at full pelt so he doesn’t miss ‘ helping’.

TroysMammy · 18/09/2026 20:45

Haribo would either be the God of Belly Rubs, he loves it and gets himself in position for fuss. I get fed up before he does and he's never bitten, scratched or walked off in anger.

He could also be the Overseer of the Dining Table. When I'm eating he sits on the windowsill watching. He's been most annoyed tonight as for the second day on the trot it's been a vegetarian curry.

Goddess of hide and seek. Definitely the 'if I can't see them, they can't see me' version.

Boycat would be God of the Sheds/neighbours House or any other structural object he's not supposed to be in.
The fright my neighbour received at 2am when she went to the bathroom..

Boycat - God of snoring, backflips and practice mice

MagpiePi · Yesterday 08:23

In his own mind, Cat is God of the Squirrel Hunt, Scourge of Furry-tailed Rodents.

I think in reality the squirrels treat his stalking and chasing exploits as a bit of game of chicken that they are never going to lose.
