Do you think pets go to heaven?
Probably an absurd question for most...we just had our 20+ year old kitty put to sleep this morning; she was getting weaker and weaker; I couldn't get her to eat or even drink the last 36 hours of her life; daughter took her to work with her this morning (works for our vet); vet put her to sleep, which I expected would be the most humane thing. She had gotten painfully thin, but was still going where she wanted to go and doing what she wanted to do, on her own terms, until, probably Saturday late morning. Vet's office was closed or I would have taken her down there Saturday; I didn't expect her to last until this morning, frankly, but she had always been a tuff kitty, smart, too. We had her a long, long time; she was the feline grande dame around here and put up with no guff from any of the other animals, canine or feline, no matter what their size. I loved her spunk, her independence; she was not a demanding cat, yet chose to be close to where we were most of the time, without being intrusive; aloof, watching us, and once in awhile deigning to get on a lap or sleep against the small of one's back.... I'd like to think Moira is up in heaven now, healthy, frame filled out, back in her prime, reacquainting herself with our beloved dog Missy and my sweetest feline ever, Screamy. I guess the Bible doesn't mention pets in heaven for a reason... but I still would like to think they will be there to greet me when I get there.
