I don't believe in God, or heaven, but ever since my cat was put to sleep on Wed. I feel she is in heaven watching my everymove....thats why ive felt the need to keep her food bowl and litter box out, and I tell her goodnight, and just talk to her
Why do I feel that animals go to heaven, but not people?
Please don't harp me on my religious beliefs....I was just wondering why I feel my pet went to an eternal resting place of happiness, and people just die and are gone forever.

Everybody is entitled to their own beliefs. If it makes you happy, then it is the truth for you. Maybe others don't believe it, but for you it's real, and that's all that matters.
It's a wonderful way to view things. Keep your faith and don't let anybody--Christian, Athiest, Muslim, and anything inbetween--make you budge from it.

I am so sorry approximately your cat! I am a Christian, so I wager I would now not have the identical perspectives, but it surely is helping to suppose that they're in a dependable, completely happy, house, looking from above. It's alright to beleive that, however suppose- you desire your cat to be completely happy while it dies, so possibly you desire a well house, too? You must simply check out going to church- simplest to peer what it is like. Also, is she buried in an accessable location? You might bury a few meals, and the litterbox, subsequent to her in order that her soul can comfortably succeed in the ones units? It would sound loopy- it is simply an thought! Once once more, I am so sorry!

Yes, your cat has always existed and always will as it is a part of the stream of life. Life is like water, there are many drops but are part of one ocean. All is really one one. The concept of the 'self' is an illusion in the first place. There is much more to existence than we can come close to seeing right now. Death is nothing to fear....look at nature...an animal dies.....decomposes into the ground then grows into a nice pretty flower which is eaten by other animals who are than eaten by another animal.

You probably "feel" that way because in your eyes animals are innocent and not immoral such as human beings are. Although, humans have a spirit while animals do not. Human beings, who do not accept Jesus Christ as the son of God who died for their sins, will not enter the kingdom of God and their spirit will go to hell. While people who put their faith and trust in Jesus will go to heaven. Their spirit that is. People are immoral and ungodly because they are sinners. You must first understand the origin of sin. Sin entered the world via Adam and Eve's rebellion in eating from the forbidden tree. God created a way for man to be forgiven though through his son, who is pure and perfect, and who died for our sins. So that if we accept Jesus, than we may be forgiven of our sins. We become a new creation in Christ: born again. We no longer want to do what the worldy sinners do because we have the Holy Spirit now dwelling within us. Jesus is our only mediator before God, and no one may enter heaven without him. It doesn't matter how many "good works" you do. Only Jesus, who is God, is perfect and it's through belief in him that we are saved and forgiven. Your cat does not possess a spirit and it is not in heaven; however, people who do have a spirit will either spend eternity in heaven or hell. It's their choice. God gave freedom of will.

well, this does have involvement in religious beliefs. if you dont believe in god or heaven, and you want your little cat to be in heaven..well both cant happen. i pray that you will find the light of christ in your life and that you will accept him as savior and that you will realize your cat is in heaven and you will be too when you die

Pets wait for us, just over the Rainbow Bridge, then we all go to Heaven togather. Do you know of a true loving pet, who should not go to Heaven? I don't. And who rules over Heaven? God.

I believe with all my heart, that animals go to heaven..They were always innocent and have always followed the will of God. I am sure your cat is there waiting..And you will see her again.

I know someone that doesn't believe in heaven but does believe that cats are gods.
It's not weird. Just a different way of coping.

If you sat back and thought about what you just wrote you'd understand that sounds really dumb. You're believing what you want to believe and aren't even sure yourself why you believe it. You're basing your beliefs off of emotions instead of faith. Animals don't go to heaven, they do not have souls.
