After a long life, a cat arrived at the pearly gates, where God welcomed him. “You’ve been a wonderful cat,” God said. “Tell me, what would make your eternity perfect?”
The cat sighed. “I lived with a kind but poor family, and my bed was always the hard floor.”
Before he could finish, God snapped His fingers—and a plush pillow materialized under the cat.
Soon after, six mice entered heaven. God gave them the same offer. “We’ve spent our whole lives running from danger,” they squeaked. “If we had roller skates, we could finally relax!”
God granted their wish instantly, and the mice zoomed around happily.
A week later, God checked on the cat, who was curled up on his pillow, looking content. “Are you happy here?” God asked.
The cat grinned. “Oh yes, absolutely heavenly. And those delivery meals? Best service ever!”
