Where in the OT does God give a nod to Cat lovers?

A little piece of offbeat trivia: Where in the OT does God give a nod to Cat lovers?

Answer: In the Apocraphyal Letter of Jeremiah (also included with Baruch as chapter 6):

"Bats, swallows, and birds light on their bodies and heads; and so do cats." (Verse 22).

This is the only reference to "cats" in the Old or New Testaments. The phrase is hardly complimentary, however, as this verse describes the afflictions suffered by false priests.
