Cat Meets Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates

A cat finally uses up it’s nine lives and appears at the pearly gates. Saint Peter tells him he’s been a good cat and will be allowed into Heaven. For being such a good cat you can have anything you wish to make your stay comfortable.

The cat has had a hard life on the farm, with people who ignored him, dogs that barked, and hard wooden floors to sleep on. With a knowing smile Saint Peter offers him a fantastic pillow in front of a warm fireplace.

A few days later some mice appear at the pearly gates and are also told they’ve lived a good life, and are also offered anything they want to make their stay more comfortable.

Well the mice have also had a hard life, constantly running away from large feet, brooms and sharp claws, and ask for a set of rolling skates. Saint Peter smiles again and the mice race off on their shiny new skates.

A week later Saint Peter wanders through Heaven on his break and spies the cat sleeping on his cushion in front of the fire. “How are you cat?,” he asks.

The cat half opens his eyes and giving a great yawn says “Oh yes, and thanks for all the meals on wheels you’ve been sending me”.
