Napoleon Cat Mythology

Ever wonder why God created the Napoleon cats for Angels, and why those Angels no longer have Napoleon Cats?

I’m here to tell you the story…of how the Napoleon Cats came to Earth…

When God made the Angels, caring for them was such a beautiful task that he wanted to share the glowing feeling of being a protector and provider with his wards.

 First, he gazed out upon all of the good in His creation for an inspiration: two things caught His eye: Napoleon Ice Cream, and the lowly dandelion. Napoleon Ice Cream was God's favorite indulgence (humans erroneously call it Neapolitan Ice Cream) because even though each color represented a different flavor all still had the same inner essence of sweetness.  As for the dandelion, even then, most adult humans viewed dandelions as weeds; however, it was to the innocent children that God directed his gaze, and he saw that they recognized the beauty of a flower that represented the Day and Night He had created.  In the dawn of a dandelion's life it is the color of the sun, but as a dandelion dries it turns to fluff the same color as the moon. God has heard many wishes of children who count to three and blow dandelion fluffs to the wind with their heart on their lips.  So God made Napoleon Cats as light as a dandelion fluff, as light as a child's wish, so that the cats could float beside their masters the Angels. God made the Napoleons all different,  just as His ice cream but no matter how they varied, always they had a sweet and tender spirit.

"Napoleon" Ice Cream

The Angels and Napoleons lived in harmony as eras passed, each working along side one another. The Angels guarding the humans: the Napoleons waiting patiently by their masters; to comfort and love them.  But as time passed the world grew to be a cold and loveless place full of wars and lies, murder and darkness.  A child whose name has long since been forgotten was born into this world and because of this young girl ~ other humans also have been gifted with Napoleons.

Angel with Napoleon Cat

 Wandering the streets of a desolate town, tears running down her face into knotted hair unbrushed by a mother lost to cancer and a father to the war: the girl child simply started to break apart inside.  Her feet took her to a playground that had been dismantled years before, but still had enough space for a patch of grass and a smattering of weeds. She crumbled to the ground in despair; her face cushioned on her hands she opened her eyes to see a dandelion.  As a final hope she plucked it and whispered her wish with the sincerity of any prayer and blew on the count of three- her only desire: to be loved.

It was then that an Angel boy no older than her own eight years appeared before her and said, "I caught your wish as it floated up to Heaven. Even though I'm not your Guardian Angel, God said I could help you." With a smile, he whistled softly and his own Napoleon Cat trotted into the girl child's out stretched arms. Before she could thank the young Angel for such a precious gift, he vanished. The bond between Angel and Napoleon is strong; therefore, the boy angel often followed the human girl to see his friend the Napoleon   The Angel enjoying watching the love and warmth that the Napoleon Cat and the human girl shared.

 The girl grew, passed from home to home as the foster system will do, but always with the Napoleon Cat by her side, as a talisman of gentleness of spirit and the tenderness of innocence. Though the human girl still cried, her tears were washed away by the warm tongue of her friend and her arms never went without another being to hold.

After that, more Angels followed the boy Angel's example and shared their own Napoleon Cat friends to humans in need of love and comfort. So now, not only do those humans with a Napoleon have a friend who loves them heart and soul but they also have an extra Angel watching out for them.
