A cat died and went to Heaven. St. Peter met her at the gates and said, "You have been a good cat all these years. Anything you want is yours for the asking." The cat thought for a minute and then said, "All my life I lived on a farm and slept rough. I would like a real fluffy pillow to sleep on."
St. Peter said, "Say no more," and instantly the cat had a huge fluffy pillow to sleep on.
A few days later six mice were killed in an accident and they all went to Heaven together. St. Peter met the mice at the gates with the same offer that he'd made to the cat. The mice said, "Well, we've had to run and hide all our lives from cats, dogs, owls, and even people! If we could have some little roller skates, we wouldn't have to run again."
St. Peter answered, "It is done," and all the mice had beautiful little roller skates.
About a week later, St. Peter decided to look in on the cat. He found her sound asleep on her fluffy pillow. St. Peter gently awakened the cat and asked, "Is everything ok? How have you been doing? Are you happy?" The cat replied, "Oh, everything is wonderful. I have never been so happy. The pillow is so fluffy, and...those little Meals on Wheels you have been sending over are delicious!
