None for a "stupid cat!" But a good dog? And a lion and a lamb - at least one of each... and a wolf and a lamb and a leopard and a kid goat. And every beast of the field.
Hosea 2:18 and others.

I'm not a big animal guy - but life touches life. It's not the same as making important human connections, and it's certainly nothing that can be equated to making contact with eternal life. But still, it's a part of God's creation that intersects with our lives. It has its significance.
