Do we think cats go to heaven?

Of course

JMSA · 01/10/2026 21:28

That’s reserved for dogs.

20thCenturyFecks · 01/10/2026 21:29

I hope so. I want my cats to be waiting for me (I don't think I'm bad enough for hell....)

Sprig1 · 01/10/2026 21:30

No, but if it makes you happy to believe that they do then nobody should have a problem with that.

Blorengia · 01/10/2026 21:32

I hope so.
My heaven won't be acceptable unless there are cats... and dogs... and horses... and elephants... and etc.
(Of course, as it'll be heaven, they'll all be on friendly terms.)

If you read about the kingdom of heaven in Revelation in the Bible it mentions the wolf lying down with the lamb, etc etc. So there will be animals in the next life. So yes, cats - undoubtedly!

HolyMoly24 · 01/10/2026 21:33

Of course. They are already little furry angels

Stompythedinosaur · 01/10/2026 21:34

Having spent the evening cleaning up a "treat" one of my dcats has left smeared across a rug, I'd say hell is more likely!

The rainbow bridge poem makes me cry my eyes out and I never cry.
If there is a heaven (unlikely to say the least) I am not going if my animals aren't there.

BugJuice · 01/10/2026 21:36

I don’t believe in heaven, so it’s a no from me. However if it’s comforting for people to think that their pets are in heaven, then that’s ok.

FuzzyPuffling · 01/10/2026 21:42

Yes. We are all God's creation. He wouldn't make something, then leave it out of the best bit.

beccahamlet · 01/10/2026 21:42

Would it be heaven without cats?

littlbrowndog · 01/10/2026 21:45

Yes they go straight to heaven. Hopefully I will go with them

AltitudeCheck · 01/10/2026 21:45

My cat is a murderous little git, I hope the criteria for heaven are different for cats otherwise he's going somewhere far warmer!

cheezncrackers · 01/10/2026 21:46

If there is a heaven, it will be full of cats 😻

Chickydoo · 01/10/2026 21:48

my heaven is full of all my gorgeous departed cats 🐈

Do we think cats go to heaven
MrsMoastyToasty · 01/10/2026 21:50

Of course they do. They are gods and we are mere disciples.

sweetpickle2 · 01/10/2026 21:51

Wouldn’t be heaven without mine.

This reel still makes me tear up after losing my very loved cat last year. We live next to fields and she'd often be off exploring for a day or two in her heyday so this is exactly what I would imagine her to be doing in heaven.

I have seen the same but with budgies 😂

ObliviousCoalmine · 01/10/2026 21:56

I don’t. I don’t think it exists. But if you do that’s fine.

HippeePrincess · 01/10/2026 21:58

As @WoooMumma the cats are all in hell and I’ll see them all there 😂

FuzzyPuffling · 01/10/2026 21:42

Yes. We are all God's creation. He wouldn't make something, then leave it out of the best bit.

Hopefully that wouldn't also include other aspects of god's creation such as the loa loa worm that infects human eyeballs, the bacteria that causes syphilis, the bacteria that caused the Black Death, or the myriad other organisms that have caused untold misery, sickness and death through the ages.

The ancient Egyptians thought so, they stuffed them and put them in the pyramids.
