A Cat Meets God

A cat died and was met at the pearly gates, by God Himself. And God said, “According to the records before me, you have been a good cat all these years. You can have anything you desire. All you have to do is to ask, and it shall be yours.” Well, said the cat, “I lived all my life on a farm and had to sleep on hardwood floors.” God cut in and said, “Say no more” Instantly a fluffy pillow appeared.

A few days later, six mice are killed in a tragic accident and they also got to meet God at the pearly gates. And God said, “According to the records before me, you have been good mice all these years. You can have anything you desire. All you have to do is to ask, and they shall be yours.” And the mice said, “All our lives, we've had to run for our dear lives. Cats, dogs, and women with brooms have chased us. If we had roller skates, we wouldn't have to run anymore.”  And God said, “I can certainly take care of that.” Instantly, each mouse was fitted with a beautiful pair of tiny roller-skates.

A week later when God checked on the cat, He met it fast asleep on its fluffy pillow. God gently nudges him awake and asks, “How are you doing? Are you happy here?” The cat stretched, yawned and said, “Never been happier. And those meals on wheels you've been sending over are great.”
