One day a cat dies of natural
causes and goes to heaven. Greeting him the Lord says,
"You've lived a good life. If there is any way I can
make your stay in Heaven more comfortable, please let Me
know." The cat thinks for a minute and says "Well,
all my life I lived with a poor family and had to sleep
on a hard wooden floor..." The Lord stops the cat
and says "Say no more!" Just then a wonderful
fluffy pillow appears and the cat contentedly wanders off
to find a good place to nap. A few days later six mice
killed in a tragic farming accident go to Heaven. The
Lord is there to greet them with the same offer. The mice
answer: "All of our lives we've been chased. We've
had to run from cats, from tractors, even from that
farmer's wife with her broom. We're tired of running..."
"Say no more!" The Lord replies. In a flash,
each mouse is fitted with a beautiful new pair of roller
skates, and they skate happily off to explore the
Heavenly landscape. About a week later The Lord stops by
to see the cat and finds him snoozing away. He gently
wakes the cat and asks, "How are things since you
got here?" The cat stretches, yawns, and replies
"Oh, it is wonderful here. I get a lot of great
sleep on this pillow, and those Meals On Wheels you've
been sending are the BEST!!!"
