All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small.
All things
wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
Cecil Frances Alexander
To paraphrase Mark Twain, if there are no cats in heaven, then heaven is a place I do not want to be. Many people
have pondered the question: Will I see my pet again? We all must search for our own answers, but I will share mine.
It takes years for humans to develop kindness and compassion for others, but animals seem to be born with these qualities.
Perhaps this is why they don’t live as long as people do: they are already spiritual perfection, put here to teach us
lessons about loving without condition.
After we die, I believe that we humans are surrounded by everything that
we love. If I have loved animals in this life, it only makes sense that they will be with me after death. How can it be any
other way? I believe my Rainbow Bridge will be very crowded and I look forward to the happy reunions.
*My own story
of after-death communication with a beloved pet is titled Merlin's Gift.
