  • Kanehau says:

    I knew that cats hated water… But really, we’re limited to two of each kind!

  • Barracius says:

    Only when the first raindrops came did Noah realize God did not mean 2 of every species of every animal.

  • beckworth says:

    “I don’t know. God said something about needing them for the Internet.”

  • beckworth says:

    “If God’s so smart, why didn’t he say anything about a litter box?”

  • beckworth says:

    The Old Testament God was a crazy cat lady, but the New Testament God is totally different.

  • hemidemisemigod says: 
    And Noah begat three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth. 
Every son had seven wives;
Every wife had seven sacks; 
Every sack had seven cats;
Every cat had seven kits.
Kits, cats, wives and sons,
Just how big is a cubit anyway?
  • Mickey Droy says:

    There’s not a cat in hell… …’s chance that it will rain for forty days and forty nights

  • Steven007 says:

    “Did we really need to stop at the ladies house at the end of the dirt road before embarking?”

  • thisisradiofreedom says:

    Once Noah had collected all the different “kinds” of cats there was no room left.

  • Carl4 says:

    Whose stupid plan was this? The boat is practically full and we’re not even done with the family of cats!

  • Steven007 says:

    And so it was that Noah’s cat fetish changed the course of human history.

  • Steven007 says:

    God, that’s a lot of freakin’ cats! I thought you said two of each kind not two of each breed…

  • aquilacane says:

    I should never have doubted you, Noah. Only the Lord could master so many cats.

  • Cantaz says:

    Wow, this IS really a miracle… herding all those atheist cats… not even Dawkins could have managed that!

  • Alan4discussion says:

    The ark-angel told you to go-fer-wood because it was going to rain cats and gods?? No Ah!!!!!!

  • cheng says:

    Relax! 5000 years is plenty of time for them to evolve into every imaginable type of beast.

  • bluebird says:

    In reply to #41 by beckworth:

    “What can I say? God loves Chinese food.”

    Cats don’t like leashes, only dogs can be wokked (or so I’ve heard).

  • Cantaz says:

    Creationist explanation for why we do not find fossil cats in the Precambrian

  • Mr DArcy says:

    And Noah, wise man that he was, wondered where to park the snow leopards, the lynxes, and the black panthers. The Highland Wild Cat was also a problem. As for that poxy Schrodinger’s cat, he would have to go into a box and take his chances.

  • Alan4discussion says:

    In reply to #13 by beckworth:

    “If God’s so smart, why didn’t he say anything about a litter box?”

    Noah built one that floated – but that was just a crappy mistake he spotted afterwards!
    Why else would he choose to be out in the wind, rain, and in the open air for 40 days as shown?

  • Castilliano says:

    When you said “opposite of ‘dog’ I thought you meant…never mind.”

  • Stuart Coyle says:

    “What if Noah were actually Jerry Coyne instead? (The Drosophilia are too small too see.)”

  • Bob Springsteen says:

    And God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was sexually corrupt; and God said unto Noah, make me an ark. And the Devil went behind God’s back and filled it with pussy.

  • Philip says:

    Secretly a cat lover his whole life, Noah interpreted the phrase “two of each kind” to mean “two of each kind of cat”

  • Adam Pearse says:

    “Noah dear, that is the last time I leave you in charge of roll call.”

  • Adam Pearse says:

    “Now that you mention it, this will look pretty far fetched in a few thousand years.”

  • Theo H says:

    And lo… it came to pass that Noah (as Adam before him, and the many who came after) said “Yes dear, whatever you say dear.”… and verily, God was not chuffed.

  • Iamofp says:

    Just think honey, thousands of years from now single women over forty will be thankful we did this!

  • AdOculos says:

    Typical! They were all on Mr and Mrs Gilgamesh’s Ark before they heard the tin-opener.

  • IchyKnowall says:

    So the voicemail said “gather the animals and set sail for the “important cats trophy” right? You’re certain it didn’t say ‘impending catastrophe’?

  • OliverJonCross says:

    In six hundred years prior to the great flood, Noah amassed a serious amount of pussy.

  • paulmcuk says:

    “Noah, when I said we needed to bring plenty of pussy so that our sons could repopulate the earth…”

  • Chiarasac says:

    “..Noah and Emzara obviously did not consider the speed at which the 2 cats would reproduce considering that unlike the rabbits they would not be eaten for dinner… “

  • PBrain says:

    I knew you’d like this Emzara.I just made the whole god conversation thing up because you’d never go out on a boat with me otherwise…

  • kerosene2 says:

    … and so we thought, why not heed Noah’s warning, but fill our arks with viable breeding populations?

  • justasec says:

    Really Noah — you wanted a dream vacation so you prayed for a cruise on a floating cat house!?

  • quarecuss says:

    There was once a whoahmonger Noah
    Whose cathouse was crowded for shoah
    So just for a lark
    He built them a bark
    Now offshoah there’s pussy galoah.

  • phil rimmer says:

    Now, Noah, are you sure it was God you were talking to? And what the heck are all those cheeseburger things we had to pack?

  • Snickers Man says:

    Noah -Yes dear “two of each” were his words, but that does not trump my god given free will. Now, did you put the woodworm where they won’t get nommed?
    Sinful, lesser being – Yip, I put them deep in the hold.
    Noah – Good, now get to the kitchen, your chain will show the way. Before this situation gets very ugly, I’ think you’d better make a BIG cheeseburger, about four cubits in diameter should do.
    Sinful, lesser being – Do you want to go large on that Sir.
    Noah – Ha-Ha, and Yahweh told me you women had not a whit of wit.
    Sinful, lesser being – I can’t find the salt, where’s the effin salt? Did you remember to bring it? Or were you perhaps too busy with the whole drunk and naked thing again?
    Noah – Wow! You just can’t let that go can you. Look! It would take just one prayer to my sky misogynist and you’d be turned into a f******g pillar of the stuff. Women, huh, can’t sail with them… If you need me I’ll be, erm, upwind.

  • zearottm says:

    Unbeknownst to the majority of biblical scholars, an alternate version of The Book of Noah survives to this day, which is taught as gospel in remote parts of the Appalachian Mountains and Japan.

  • Cantaz says:

    21st century version of the flood myth, in which God commands Noah to build the ark and save all the fat cats of Wall Street…

  • crookedshoes says:

    No No No I said “round up a bunch of POSSES and go capture two of every animal.”

  • All About Meme says:

    Maybe God does reveal things to Noah, because the cat costumes on those two poor dogs were flawless.

  • All About Meme says:

    Alternate:

    Yes, honey, land is in sight! One more day and we can peel off these wet cat costumes and issue the barks heard round the world.

  • mistermac says:

    Preparing for a life after boating, Noah’s lifelong dream of breeding cats would go unrecorded.

  • Blackadder says:

    I wonder which ones will evolve into dinosaurs and which ones will evolve into sheep.

  • Mr.Me says:

    If I’d known you were going to bring your pets I would have stayed at home.

  • Perry Bulwer says:

    Noah to his wife: “I told you we shouldn’t have left without the dog, ma.”

  • AdOculos says:

    Listen! We only need 2 cats. We can throw the rest into the water. Shouldn’t be too difficult!

  • dwzepp says:

    Well smart-guy, you solved the genetic bottleneck problem for felines, but what about the Sauropods???

  • mccuepaul1 says:

    ‘I told you not to worry, cute kitten videos on youTube will fund this “Ark” thingy you say we need.’

  • david.graf.589 says:

    God realized that he had failed to eradicate evil from the world when the evidence was abundant that a pair of cats had snuck onto the ark.

  • toastygod says:

    It was then Noah realized that cats must be gods because they also “magically” created a whole population from just two specimens in a secluded, floating garden.

  • Thomas, the Smart Apostle says:

    You’d think an omniscient god would tell his servant to pack some yarn.

  • toastygod says:

    “Well see, the kids are going to need some kind of companion after God destroys all of their potential non-incestuous mates.”

  • Mrs. k Gust says:

    “Yes,yes that was when I visited China. Cat fried rice. Haven’t you heard of it?”

  • toastygod says:

    And God said, “Look at all the widdle faces! How can I pick just two? Screw it, all the kitties on the boat! Humans, I still hate you. Get cuter or go die in a fire…er…flood.”

  • Dr,Dave says:

    God, this is Noah. So what did you expect with two of each kind for 40 days and 40 nights?

  • mason.kelsey says:

    Noah, suddenly realized it was “two of every kind of creature” instead of “two of every kind of cat”. But it was too late.

  • Bob Springsteen says:

    Although it rained for 40 days and 40 nights, the water companies still imposed a hosepipe ban.

  • Brian 960 says:

    And Fluffy begat Snowball, and Snowball begat Mr. Whiskers, and Mr. Whiskers begat Shadow, and Shadow begat Misty, and Misty… .

  • Cantaz says:

    Newly discovered archeological evidence suggests God may be a cat person!

    (picture above shows a reproduction of a petroglyph found at an undisclosed location in Kentucky)

  • Aphetorusbull says:

    No honey, this is just the test run God told me he plans on actually using frogs against Pharaoh eventually… Count your blessings at least the cats are fluffy, oooh watch your step.

  • TracyF says:

    Noah dear, the good news is we’ve settled the rodent problem,

    the bad news is, we’re out of kitty-litter…

  • david smith says:

    If I told you once, I’ve told you a thousand times. Stop talking to that imaginary friend of yours!

  • andersemil says:

    “I know what God told me, dear, but frankly he’s been pissing me off lately, what with the flood n’ all, and this way my world will be much more fluffy! You did remember to bring cat food, didn’t you?”

  • Mickey Droy says:

    So much for you thought experiment, Schrödie dear. They are all alive.

  • mdsullivan says:

    Let me guess, he told you, “Build the Ark and I’ll give you all the pussy you could ever want!”

  • Red Dog says:

    In reply to #176 by Frost1944:

    When I said more pussy this isn’t what I had in mind.

    A Request to Mods: Please no more caption contests that have cats in them. Too many of your users are immature adolescents and/or think stupid Asian stereotypes are hilarious.

  • Slobodoumnik says:

    God spoke to me and said that after this flood no one will say that herding atheists is like organizing cats.

  • vizente2002 says:

    Noah, God said seven animals of each species (Genesis 7:2-3) and not seven of every breed.

  • Slobodoumnik says:

    You know dear, I think it is time to bring up from below deck the gunnysacks and bricks I stowed away.

  • buckethead says:

    Noah ! God said, “all animals two by two,” not, “only tabby cats and you,”

  • mackhitch says:

    Noah, Gilgamesh had better sense. Why couldn’t you stick to the script?

  • Castilliano says:

    The first mistranslation was “ark” to “catamaran”. After that, the errors grew more pronounced.

  • Castilliano says:

    Noah’s wife just smiled blankly and clung to her kitties when Noah inquired about the status of the dinosaurs.

  • greenb925 says:

    All things bright and beautiful
    All creatures great and small
    All thing wise and wonderful
    Darwin explained them all….x

  • david smith says:

    God-the father, the son, the holy ghost and the ultimate multiple-personality disorder

  • Castilliano says:

    Tales of Noah’s less than successful and meow-fully delicious brother have been excised from the biblical account.

  • Namrevlis says:

    There’s this cat and that cat and the other cat and, and….. Mabel, quick, hand me the CATalogue.

  • Castilliano says:

    Though purged from the biblical account, Noah’s wife did have a name: Bast.

  • Alan4discussion says:

    . .. . and the Ark-Angel flew in low over the poop-deck with a message on animal selection, for Noah, but due to feline predation, it is now poop on the poop-deck. are you sure it said “More litters”? We’re running out of mice, doves, birds, dogs, and other cat food! Which way to Mount ‘ave a rat?

  • Castilliano says:

    “Noah, God didn’t tell me how many I should or shouldn’t bring.”

  • Castilliano says:

    Noah had to make it up to his wife somehow for forgetting “those lovely unicorns”.

  • kalbers says:

    Noah, after another sleepless night of hissing cats, turns to his wife with a loving smile, “Dear, honey, sweetie-pie, where did you put all the potato sacks?”

  • david smith says:

    Thank gosh I’m an atheist. Sorry, that’s a topic for another issue. But I’d still like to see it on a Richard Dawkins foundation t-shirt, though.

  • david smith says:

    Iza likes its whenz ya makes funs of bible peoples-its so dang funnay. Anz it’s written in such great grammar 2

  • david smith says:

    If God could fill a boat the size of the Titanic full of cats, then why can’t he cure every disease on earth, end poverty, crime, corruption and once and for bloody all, just fucking kill Satan

  • david smith says:

    Could Richard Dawkins send the atheist boat of cats around to this town I’m stuck in? It’s a hell-hole and I want to get out of here.. even though I’m not a cat person.

  • ellissg says:

    In reply to #2 by Kanehau:

    OMG… It’s raining cats!

    How about OMG! It’s raining cats but no dogs!

  • david smith says:

    And God said,” forgive them-they’re only kittens. After all, how much harm can a ship-full of cats do?’

  • Perry Bulwer says:

    And it came to pass after seven days that the windows of heaven were opened and it began to rain cats and dogma.

  • kalbers says:

    Being allergic to cats, and a professed “dog man”, Noah had to, for the first time, question God’s douchebaggery.

  • JeffMunroe says:

    And the Lord said . . . “Okay, this is the last time I trust inbred hillbillies to do ANYTHING! I’m out. You’re on your own.”

  • hwang says:

    “Thank God cat lovers don’t believe in God!”

    If you google “cat lover” and “atheist”, you will know. 🙂

  • HMS Beagle says:

    Only cats remain after 40 days at sea, Noah
    Is heard to say ” Freaking Cats, is it to late
    To be an Atheist “.

  • suite144 says:

    (1) And you thought we couldn’t ‘herd cats’

    (2) Now this is a real ‘pussy riot’

  • gwhatmore says:

    While the rest of the human race got on with their lives, a silly man went sailing in the rain with lots of cats

  • glorious_bastard says:

    The moment, when Noah realised that his wife was in reality catwoman…

  • glorious_bastard says:

    “Noah darling, I think it’s time to stop your cloning experiments…”

  • Alan4discussion says:

    Meow! – Never mind the purrrfectly packaged Kentucky-fried-chicken Ginger Tom, Noah said there was Ham in here – or was that just porkies? !

  • MadEnglishman says:

    Don’t worry, dear. You know I had to take ALL my cats. There probably wouldn’t have been room for the dinosaurs anyway. I’m sure they’ll be okay…

  • Ian M says:

    OK, So the catamaran would have taken a couple more weeks. Time well spent I would have thought!

  • QuestioningKat says:

    Noah’s Ark Park, Creation Museum, Kentucky

    Unable to fit 2 x 6.5 million species, substitutions were made.

    (Unfortunately, costumes and the sprinkler system did not go over very well.)

  • ipsos says:

    MRS NOAH to NOAH “Hopefully when we arrive at the coast of Texas, they’ll be too busy blaming the atheists for the flood and not notice we stuffed up on the animals “

  • JosephMcMahon says:

    “Apparently it doesn’t only work with loaves and fishes”
    (spelling deliberate)

  • WheresTheBelief says:

    Technically, we only have two cats. God never said anything about kinds.

  • kalbers says:

    Little known fact in the Cat Bible, the Lord Meoweh commanded Noah and his wife to free all the cats from Egypt.

  • WheresTheBelief says:

    Was the “be fruitful and increase in number” part suppose to happen before or after we landed?

  • rollingstone says:

    Then God said “Build an ark and gather together a pair of humans and ………”

  • WheresTheBelief says:

    God, mad? Nah! I’d just as soon start drinking and curse my own son.

  • O Mycroft says:

    Soon, Noah would realize that he had misunderstood God’s instructions; and from then on, he would deeply regret that no way existed for a single species to give rise to the kind of diversity that had once graced the land.

  • t-bird says:

    Are you quite sure we got the instructions right? Were we supposed to gather two of everything while it rains cats and dogs for 40 days or were the two of us supposed to gather 40 cats? Either way, I’m pretty sure were supposed to make this ark.

  • jg says:

    And God told the Cats to choose two of the Humans, a male and a female, to have dominion over.

  • BlackBolt says:

    Noah to wife: I think you misunderstood me when I said “The world is ending and I want all the pussy I can get”.

  • EddyC says:

    Excellent work comrades, just in time too. And Mittens good thinking to save two monkey slaves for the future.

  • godless11 says:

    “and then they repopulated the earth, and lived happily ever after.”

  • AdOculos says:

    So all these cats suddenly appeared and there’s no sign of the Unicorns?

  • Theo H says:

    “The whole ‘Ark’ idea was pretty far fetched in the first place… no one will believe anyone was this crazy!… we’ll just tell them we took two of every animal.”

  • Joe Glen (UK) says:

    Noah’s wife: You do realise that if he chooses the St Bernard breed to complete this saying, then we’re fucked?

    Noah: Yes dear.

  • ewenfraser says:

    .. and when he said 2 of each kind you have to understand that’s just allegorical ..
    .. now that science tells us it was actually all cats that just proves how god’s so much smarter than us .. ya’ll see?

  • Davidc says:

    Photoshopped. The earth was only created a week ago and they don’t breed THAT fast!

  • God fearing Atheist says:

    Good. Now to the second stop where we pick up two of each kind of elephant.

  • Alan4discussion says:

    So the voice in my head said save the animals and the good Cat-licks!

    Now – no cat food left? Where’s Mount ‘ave-a-rat?

  • gdoddrell says:

    Darling, while you were pussy-footing around with the dogs look what happened!

  • Bob Springsteen says:

    Is this the experience that turned the only righteous man on earth (Genesis 7:1) into an alcholic (Genesis 9:21)?

  • godfree2 says:

    Genesis 9 Lives – God’s Covenant with Noah
    Though shall offer pussy passes

  • david smith says:

    And Noah said to God- ” Of course you do realize cats don’t like the water and they’re lousy swimmers.” And God replied- ” Why the hell do you think I conned you into building this goddammed boat?”

  • Regmaglypt says:

    ” It’s a non-issue…they don’t know God spelled backwards is Dog”

  • cristianneely says:
    • These cats are picky Noah, you now? I was going to bring just my favorite couple but it´s not like I can tell them who to “preserve the specie” with.
  • cristianneely says:
    • Noah! Is this a problem?
    • Not at all, God talked to me in my dreams last night, he told me cats can swim.
  • anca.urzica says:

    God told Noah to save all those cats because He needed them for his Youtube channel.

  • Pr.Raynal says:
    • Noah, you not fear to disobeying God?
    • If you think this guy is able to creating all species de novo, however can serve an arch? Moreover, according to Dawkins, there must be a minimum number of individuals to avoid future inconvenience of too low genetic diversity …
  • david smith says:

    And so it was written-Ted Nugent said to the Lord: “God, let me jam my fist up a kitten’s ass and turn it into a sock puppet.” And so it was done.

  • david smith says:

    And the one hanna-barbera cartoon cat said as he was kicked out of bed by all the other 13 billion hanna-barbera cartoon cats aboard the cat ark-” rassen, frassen, dirty- double dorten, borten!”
    For the less enlighten animated cartoon lover, that was an example of cartoon profanity.

  • Sandman says:

    The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. 6 The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. 7 So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and with them the animals, the birds and the creatures that move along the ground—for I regret that I have made them.” 8 But Noah found favor in the eyes of the Lord.

    “Look at what my kitty does with this string!”

  • Steve Harrison says:

    Being all knowing one would have imagined that god would have realised that human beings are genetically divided into two distinct and easily recognised sub-species, dog lovers and cat lovers !

  • Bob Springsteen says:

    A theological objection: Why has Noah got long hair? The Bible clearly teaches that “If a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him” (1Corinthians 11:14). Perhaps Jehovah sent a plague of cats to punish his disobedient servant?

  • sangfroid says:

    I told you not to place them next to the hares. They have evolved the ability to multiply like rabbits!

  • Manzanilla40 says:

    Yahweh told him to take two of each animal, but you know cat lovers…

  • Cantaz says:

    M-theory of the origin of a species (“M” as in “Meow!”): how a gazillion cats can appear literally out of nothing – no supernatural creator required…

  • Regmaglypt says:

    It I’ll be OK Noah. There are two rods downstairs and I hear they ALL love Tuna.

  • Theo H says:

    God soon realised that Noah’s son, Ham, was not “cut from the same cloth” as his dad.

  • genjamin says:

    Emzara: Didn’t God say two of each? What happened?

    Noah: I asked for more pussy

  • genjamin says:

    “I thought it was too many as well but God calls it the ‘species problem’. He’s working on it.”

  • kenny77 says:

    Explanation for Noah’s Ark : After the flood, God re-created all the animals from the ribs of cats.

  • Lonevoice says:

    Doesn’t matter: they’ll all evolve into something else – we’ll just say these were a common ancestor.

  • SkyMommy says:

    And they just love the taste of brined humans, and God saw that it was good.

  • Tintern says:

    Russell Crowe refused to star in a low-budget version of Noah after seeing the story boards.

  • david smith says:

    Thus Noah proclaimed, ” If I had a billion more cats like Clouseau, I could destroy the world.” And so god half-assed granted Noah’s wish. Noah shouldn’t have watched that Pink Panther movie the night before while drinking the holy water and then talking in his drunken stupor.

  • david smith says:

    Why couldn’t God just snap his fingers or wiggle his nose and just make the cat-ark magically appear? Oh, but of course, that would defeat the purpose of this totally fact-based, faith -driven, inspirational story. Silly me, I forgot. Carry on with the rest of the show.

  • HellFireFuel says:

    We are sailing to Moscow.

    Lets see how Putin likes a real Pussy Riot.

  • colin.marshall.543 says:

    Noah honey, that was such a great idea – use the space on the boat for my darlings and Jehova can intelligently design the creatures again later!

  • Mr DArcy says:

    “Now you can stop that Tom foolery, Noah !”, she said with a wicked twinkle in her eye. “And no Jerry mandering about it !”

  • FocusedCynic says:

    And the latest error by notorious biblical scribe Stupidus of Tarsis proves to obscure the true meaning of the book of Neuter-onomy.

  • Bob Springsteen says:

    At the time of the flood these creatures were known as cts because there was No a.

  • Cantaz says:

    This is what would have happened had Noah listened to his wife rather than the voices inside his head…

  • alf1200 says:

    I know you couldn’t get two of each kind, but was it really a good idea to get two thousand of these?

  • Lance says:

    “God told me to be sure to take a lot of cats because we’re going to need them in a few thousand years when he sends the Black Plague.”
    …
    A few thousand years later.
    “Oops!”

  • kalbers says:

    Noah’s wife shakes her head at her husband. “Just typical, Noah. God gives you simple instructions and you go and fuck it up for a bunch of pussy… but I can’t stay mad, they are adorable pussies”

  • alf1200 says:

    “And they will spread through the Earth and repopulate for they are good”

  • david smith says:

    You know-if God had been somewhat pro-active in the first place-he would have seen the Dark Ages, The Plague, all the wars humanity would fight till the end of time, the talking deceptive snake he created… wait, that would defeat the whole purpose of the Bible and religion in general. Never mind

  • david smith says:

    And God so loved the world he killed every living thing in it-except for a half-dozen eight-hundred year old people and a boat full of cats to repopulate the world. If that doesn’t speak of God’s love, what does?

  • phil rimmer says:

    The opening tableux of the Ken Ham Ark Experience suffers its final ignominy when the replacement animals, after the previous night of natural carnage, are finally delivered from the pound.

    after the previous night’s innevitable carnage…

  • claudio r says:
    • I thought only a couple of each kind was allowed…
    • Yeah, that was before Jeremeowh here kicked Noah and his two dogs off the ark!
  • Alan4discussion says:

    Hammy Ark eventually saves the local stray animals climbing to higher ground, when climate change brings floods up the Kentucky backwaters of ignorance!

  • buckethead says:

    Noah ! I said, ” all animals two by two,” NOT, “just pussy cats and you.”
