between finding it charming and thinking that it's a bit dangerous.
(Just a Christian who lost her sense of humor on the intertubes . . . )
I'd love to hear from Christian cat-lovers on the subject, since it appears to be a gray area.

It's funny for 2.739 nanoseconds. Time to move along.

My "blasphemy meter" is set pretty low. What I've read of it so far is universally hilarious to me.

Ok, this would have to be about the touchiest spot in the scriptures, and I can't help thinking it's a pretty clever take:
They was eatings, and Jebus took cheezburgrs and give them to his peepz and sez, "Is my body. It has a flavor. U can has it and go NOM NOM NOM." And he took teh cup, sez thks plz, and gives 2 dem, sez, Drink all of it; Dis my blood k?, Soz U can say srry when U bad kittehz. Now I has no milk wif u, till wez all in the ceiling. K? Invisible karaoke over, they went outside 4 2 play.
I mean, if cats really did talk this way, how else would the translation read to get the message across?

"invisible karaoke"? Is that the cat-take on "Passover supper"?
I dunno. It's charming, but almost too sweet for my taste. And there is that other worry in the back of my mind . . . I'm probably getting squeamish in my old age.

I've lived with cats all my life and I like to think of them as being highly intelligent. I'd swear if I didn't know better that they had serious language skills or might even be able to read images in my mind. Of course, when they don't respond as expected, I believe it is willful disobedience. Yes--very similar to my view of women: Only in the latter case I KNOW it is willful.
Would Stephen Hawking talk/write this way? Only with regards to anthropogenic global warming.

the "invisible karaoke" references the hymn that the disciples sang before heading to the garden of Gesthemane.
In re: the Ceiling Cat, I see that as a cat-concept of the Almighty. We use imagery that suggests heaven is in the sky, in the clouds, etc, even though we know it is not within this space-time. Ceiling Cat is the Almighty Cat who lives somewhere above the ceiling.

I'm in Luke right now; does that one show up in Luke? I almost think it has to be John, since I had thought I was okay on the "linear" gospels . . . how funny. Downright embarrassing.
