Everything has symbolic significance. I love cats! I have three adopted cats (they just appeared at my house but remember There Are No Coincidences): Black Madonna/'Black Cat', Snaggalpoos/'Snaz' and Edwin. I also consider my girlfriend's cat Gabriel one of my cats. They are all reincarnated souls and they have it really good! They're in heaven.
A month before the 2004 Presidential Election, I was beginning to paint on my van in red: Ronald(6 letters) Wilson(6) Reagan(6) the "666 1st Beast", George Walker Bush Jr. the "2nd Beast", and United(6) States(6) Dollar(6) the "666 mark of the Beast". I stopped soon after starting because it was looking awful! Right then, this young black cat who was pregnant and very thin and hungry appeared out of nowhere and began rubbing my leg. I got her some food and she adopted me as my human. I was reading Margaret Starbird The Goddess In The Gospel at the time about Mary Magdalean so I named her Black Madonna. My mother called her, "Black Cat" and me being a BIG Janet Jackson fan, I could identify with that. This cat has always been very mystical. My girlfriend is jealous of her because I AM planning on being reincarnated as a lion in the wild and this female cat will be one of my lionesses. (That's my plan, let's see if it happens. It's a science experiment.)
My gf named her cat Gabriel for "no particular reason". She had wanted a male black cat and he just appeared near the sidewalk one day. I explained to her about the tradition throughout history of Gabriel arriving to recognize the arrival of the Christ: GOD's chosen one.
