Cats in Heaven!

Once upon a Time
when heaven was way bit too lazy
(more lazy than it is today)
heaven was filled with cats . . .

My mumsy Pica remembers it well
(she's 112 years old remember?).
She narrated this story to me
while I was once cuddled beside her
in her small comfy bed.

Pica said that keeper's mother (bless her soul!)
was known to adopt stray animals
or accept them as gifts.
Pica was a gift from a neighbor.
When Pica arrived in heaven as a puppy,
she found hundreds of cats all over heaven!
Keeper said the cats arrived one at a time
and before you know it, wham!
they were all over the place!

The cats brought their cat friends over
and their cat friends stayed.
Some would go on vacation
to nearby houses and subdivisions
and returned with more friends.

But you see, cats are not as noisy as dogs
so they can fill up the place
and neighbors won't noticed
that there was a federation of them inside heaven!

Like us, they sit up for photos . . .


and feeding time is like a huge buffet!


after which, they start grooming themselves
since according to keeper cats don't take baths! (yech!)


after grooming, they take long naps . . .


and when they wake up, they eat again.
This is one long, boring tale, believe me.

I only remember Gold.

Gold was from that batch.
Gold took care of Bogart
when Bogart got sick as a puppy.
(Keeper said she has a picture of it
and will try to post it here soon!)

Anyway, Gold probably got fed up
with all the noisy, clumsy hounds
and started staying on the roof!

Keeper would send Gold
his food and water on the roof
and clean his bed afterwards.
It was quite an effort.

And like Pica, Gold must be 100yo.
But unlike Pica, Gold died and got buried
in Chicky's comfy embrace . . .

A great tribute to the ghost of heaven
on Oh-Ghost month . . .
