Nowhere does Scripture explicitly state that animals do not have souls...There is nothing in Scripture I know of that would preclude the possibility of animals' continued existence...The Bible does give us some reason to hope that departed animals will be restored. We read in the Bible that redemption is a cosmic matter. The whole creation is destined to be redeemed through the work of Christ (Romans 8:21), and we see the images of what heaven will be like; beautiful passages of Scripture tell us about the lion and lamb and other animals being at peace with one another.(Isaiah 11:6-8). Whenever heaven is described, though it may be in highly imaginative language, it is a place where animals seem to be present. Whether these are animals newly created for the new heavens and the new earth, or they are the redeemed souls of our pets that have perished, we can't know for sure.

New American Standard Version
Ecc.3:19 For the fate of the sons of men, and the fate of beast is the same. As one dies so so the other dies; indeed, they all have the same breath, and there is no advantage of man over beast, for all is vanity.
Ecc 9:4 For whoever is joined with all the living, there is hope; surely a live dog is better off than a dead lion.
When Solomon was alive, men and animals went to the grave. Now, since Jesus humans have the hope of the resurrection.

Yes of course little kitty cats and Banana Snakes go to the same heaven. Banana Snakes love little kitty cats. They taste delicious.

I think cats go to the same heaven that saved Christians go to. Not because the have souls, not because they're saved, but because God loves cats.

I believe that if there is an afterlife, surely all living things are welcomed there to be in the presence of (in my tradition) the Gods. More personally, I also believe that cat spirits probably go to be with Bast, to play at Her feet and be loved, perhaps to one day be reunited with the souls of the people who loved them.
If you've just lost a pet, I'm very sorry and offer you my condolences. Best of luck to you on your path.

Regular meals, a warm dry place to sleep, no worries -- why would a cat need heaven?

God only gave never-dying souls to people. The Bible does not say specifically what happens to animals when they die. It is VERY specific about people though. Although its hard for me to accept this as an animal lover, it is my opinion that animals just cease to exist when they die.

Cats burn in hell. Dogs go to heaven.

You must really love your cat what with your other questions too. The Bible doesn't address that subject, sorry.
