If God turned out to be a cat
What would you make of that?
Would you ask forgiveness for all the times that
you hadn't been kind to cats?
If God turned out to be a turkey
Would you be feeling quite so chirpy
Eating God's only son on his birthday?
If God turned out to be a fox
It wouldn't look too good for toffs
On judgement day
If God is karma, this would bring
Kindness, love and understanding
An end to suffering
So maybe God is everything
Sentient...remembering

Quite a co-incidence
I wrote this poem the day of the passing
of Christopher Hitchens

Margaret Atwood wrote a short story about God as a cat. It doesn't have much else in common with your poem, but it is lovely. Here:
