Yes. But you don't have to spend time with them. Go find some non-devout souls and make friends with them.
Let me tell you a little joke my priest told my class when I was in Catholic school:
An ordinary Joe Schmoe died. His religion was (insert any relegion but Catholic). So Joe Schmoe is met at the pearly gates by St. Peter who is taking him on a tour of heaven.
"This is the hot tub, here are the gourmet restaurants, and outside, here is the garden of eden." Says St. Peter
"But St. Peter, what is that big, brick wall over there?" Says Joe Schmoe
"Oh, that's for the Catholics. They think they are the only ones up here!!!!"

You will be in heaven with anyone that accepted Jesus' sacrifice for their sins, no matter how devout they were. No one deserves to be in heaven more than anyone else. We all fall short of the glory of God.

They will all be in there heaven together with there judgmental and jealous God looking down at those poor souls who they think are in hell. But they will not be able to look up and see that there is a heaven above them. When they stop looking down and worshiping there childish God and leave there God for God .they can Go to heaven anytime they want. That's my opinion.

In the words of the song
"sheep go to heaven, goats go to hell"
I don't know if a cat is in the goat family or the sheep family?

Joseph,
It is not our job to judge others. I do not know who Jesus will find worthy but it is HIS choice according to the scriptures. HE will judge each and every one of us. Heaven will not have any earthly bodies there. It is our duty to read, study, and obey HIS WORD not to concern ourselves with other people's salvation but our own. We are to also teach others about our Savior and allow them to choose whether or not they are going to respond to it. We are to plant the seeds GOD will do the rest. Have a great week.
Thanks,
Eds

If you (and they) placed their faith in Christ, then yes.
If your cat makes Heaven, Heaven for you, then I would say he will be there too

It will not be overcrowded, and I am sure no one undesireable will be allowed in. YHVH is great, and will do a good job. Faith does not save a person. If you are helped, it is a gift, grace, of the Almighty YHVH. Most people have faith in something else, which cannot save. And in the end most people will choose to be lost rather than come to the Savior YAHOSHUA for salvation!
The Almighty YHVH set up a system. He sent His “Son” YAHOSHUA to die for the sins of mankind so they would not have to. (They could choose to, but did not have to). Any person who chooses not to allow Yahoshua to take care of their sins, chooses to remain attached to their sins. They thus will wind up in the lake of fire which is YHVH’s method of cleaning this world, and eliminating sin and sinners. The Creator set aside the Seventh day for rest and worship. Yes that is the day usually called “Saturday”. We are not saved by obedience, we are saved by faith. However we are saved FOR obedience. As He said in John 14:15 (and in many other places) “If you love me, keep my commandments.
The only thing that will change a person is the indwelling savior Yahoshua. Obviously that is rare in this sinful world.
True faith, and salvation comes from Scripture. No organized religion is close. There is a heavenly father YHVH. There is a divine/human Savior YAHOSHUA. The Seventh day "Saturday" is the special day for rest and worship. How does it look so far? do I need to go on? Eternal life is only available by grace received through faith. I give Him my sins, and He gives me eternal life. If I stay attached to my sins, I will end up where they will, which is the lake of fire in which sin and sinners will be destroyed!
