A cat passed away and went to Heaven. At the Pearly Gates, God greeted the feline:
“You’ve been a faithful little cat all these years. Whatever you’d like is yours.”
The cat thought for a moment. “Well, I spent my life on a farm, always curled up on cold, hard wooden floors… I’d love a soft, fluffy pillow.”
“Consider it done,” said God. Instantly, the cat had the fluffiest pillow imaginable.
A few days later, a dozen mice arrived at the Gates after a tragic accident. God welcomed them with the same offer.
The mice said, “We’ve spent our whole lives running—from cats, dogs, even broom-wielding humans. Could we please have tiny roller skates so we’ll never have to run again?”
“Of course,” God replied, and in a blink, the mice were gliding around on perfect little skates.
A week later, God checked in on the cat. She was curled up, purring contentedly on her pillow.
“How’s everything going?” asked God. “Are you happy here?”
The cat stretched, smiled, and said,
“Oh yes… this is paradise! My pillow is perfect, and those little Meals on Wheels you keep sending me are absolutely delicious.”
