One day a cat dies of natural causes and goes to heaven. There
he meets the Lord Himself. The Lord says to the cat, "You lived a
good life and if there is any way I can make your stay in Heaven
more comfortable, please let Me know." The cat thinks for a moment
and says, "Lord, all my life I have lived with a poor family and
had to sleep on a hard wooden floor." The Lord stops the cat and
says, "Say no more," and a wonderful fluffy pillow appears.
A few days later, six mice are killed in a tragic farming accident
and go to heaven. Again, there is the Lord there to great them with
the same offer. The mice answer, "All of our lives we have been
chased. We have had to run from cats, dogs and even women with
brooms. Running, running, running; we're tired of running. Do you
think we could have roller skates so we don't have to run anymore?"
The Lord says, "Say no more," and fits each mouse with beautiful
new roller skates.
About a week later the Lord stops by to see the cat and finds him
snoozing on the pillow. The Lord gently wakes the cat and asks him,
"How are things since you got here?" The cat stretches and yawns
and replies, "It is wonderful here. Better than I could have ever
expected. And those 'Meals On Wheels' you've been sending by are
the best!"
