I am a christian as well, and was always taught as a child that cats (pets) can't go to heaven, because they don't have souls. I always found that very disturbing, and somewhat have always still felt that our Creator would have to have a divine plan for something that showed us so much love. I do know that in the Bible (don't know the scripture) that it definitely says that we are to care for the animals .... as they are gifts from God as is our planet, etc. It is wonderful to know that there is a reference to them actually being with us in Heaven. I would love to know the verse, if it is attainable from your son?!!!

Thanks so much for the encouraging thoughts, especially today after being separted from my Duncan Noodle yesterday.
