]]>that’s what I believe. People just say without proof that animals don’t have spirits. I can prove that animals have souls and spirits from the Bible.
]]>What a hideous post – what is your problem.
]]>I believe all animals go to Heaven!! ]]>
Ginger ]]>
I take your point . Personally I take a more scientific view . I believe we are all energy , and as you know energy cannot be destroyed , so , the energy that made up our being in life has to go somewhere upon death , and I believe that somewhere is , for want of a better word, the universe. As I see it , there is only one problem with the bible – it was written by human beings.
]]>God bless you Pam. I feel for you . I too have not long been bereaved.
]]>There are reported to be ghost sightings of cats all along the Western front. Cats were kept by both sides in the first world war, mainly to keep down the vermin and not a few suffered the same ignominious fate as their human counterparts . One little chap , carrying a message to the other side , was found guilty of treason and according to reports, executed by firing squad. We human beings really are the most incredibly pompous of all the almighties creations.
]]>Believe me Debbie , if we have a spirit so do they. He lives on for sure and you will recognize his spirit and the spirits of others you have loved when one day, you too pass over, for that day also, must surely come as it will for us all.I strongly suspect the soul is energy and energy cannot be destroyed as you know .It is my belief that when we die the energy that forms the essential ‘us’ is released and goes back out into the universe or the God Head if you like. We are a long way from understanding this completely but given time and science it will be proven one day .
]]>Please accept my sympathies. Reading your comment I was reminded of my own recent experience. Because of the Covid restrictions the vet would not visit our house , I had to drive ‘Gertie’ into Leicester (12 miles). She hated the car. The traffic was horrendous, and the journey took forever. The veterinary clinic was cold bare and unwelcoming and shortly into the examination she panicked and had to be held down by force. Several times she tried to escape desperately trying to hide behind fixtures and other fittings. This,for a little cat that had lived her life in the country running through the green fields and climbing trees. I wanted her to have a natural death in the home she loved , instead she was terrified out of her mind, and to see a beloved animal go through that was one of the worst experiences of my life. Never EVER again , even if we suffer another pandemic. I will not put any animal through such hell. I feel I could have used my own judgement to greater effect and with far less distress. Goodnight Gertie -please forgive me.
]]>My heart goes out to you. I have just had to sign my little Gertie’s passing out papers after fifteen years of close bonding. I wanted her to die a natural death but sadly this was not to be. As I am now 74 I have consciously taken on an older cat, a twelve year old to be exact, to fill the void. We had so many cats and dogs when we were younger, I could not bare the emptiness when Gertie past . ‘Bugsylou’ has settled in well and in so many ways she reminds me of my previous companion. Together we share the epilogue , she has her memories and I have mine. I hope you will make room in your heart for another cat.

]]>I to have had some very sad periods in life white the lose of my beloved Kitty, Dudley, Max, Morty, Sparky and just now Tuker. They were all cremated as well. 15 to 20 years with all my best friends. I miss them sooooo much. But now they are all together and waiting for me. I truley believe ther is something after life even for an animal. Just before they past I told each one of them to wait for me. So they will be there when I come around.
I miss them and do cherish all of the memories.
I’m so sorry for your loss. Eighteen years is a long time to know and love someone–it must have felt like losing a part of yourself. I think it’s hard for many people to understand how deeply one can grieve for an animal companion, and that makes it even harder, because then you end up suffering in silence. I wish I could ease your pain.
]]>So it is, I suspect, with death, and we must stop making pigeon holes, ”human beings go to one place, animals another , sinners down stairs and good people , well, we go to heaven of course!! Whatever happens , even if it’s nothing at all , you cannot change it , so live and love while you may , it could be later than you think.
]]>I just lost my cat, mittens, today March 2, 2021. She is a snowshoe Siamese and was polydactal. Seven toes on each foot. She was with me for 18 years.she was my best companion. I love her so much my heart aches. Thanks for letting me respond.
]]>What did the ghost cats look like
]]>I hope and pray you are right. I personally have seen no less than 4 ghost cats in my life (3 of them were mine, cats that had passed on, the other one just seemed to be a random ghost cat that I speculate was drawn to me because it knew or sensed what a cat-lover I really am.
]]>I am sorry for your loss and hope your memories help. Footprints on our hearts…
]]>… Im here for you. also, was midnight a black cat? people say they bring bad luck. GUESS WHAT WORLD I HAVE A BLACK CAT AND PUMPKIN IS THE BEST CAT EVER!!!!! no offense, Juliet. my other cat.
]]>21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Also concerning the Ark, the animals were saved along with people when God himself sealed the door of the Ark. Looks good to me. ]]>
I believe God told me my cats went to Heaven through a song, therefore I believe your cat will be there as well. What a beautiful thing it will be to see our precious babies once again. May God bless you. “The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face shine upon you,
And be gracious to you;
26 The Lord lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.” ’
That is why I wonder if she went to heaven. God loves everyone even though my cat only had a soul and not a spirit I believe she went to heaven. Because she had lots of love given to me. I had two other cats that had pasted they were Midnight and Nova
and dogs, named Duke, Sheba. Ariel and Zelda who were all excellent and well behaved dogs but very protective to my grand kids They all showed lots of love and each of these dogs and cats were stray cats and dogs . We raised them when they were little
babies. So I hope they all went to heaven causes God is a loving God.
Anyhow Precious died in my arms. I didn’t want to put her asleep, but I didn’t want her to endure pain. I just could let go, finally yesterday morning I told Precious I can’t deal with seeing you in pain, so please I give you permission to leave me. I will always have you in my heart. I love you so Precious. I step out for a minute and when I came back from the restroom she had died. I guess she didn’t want me to see her go. She held on for two days. Precious I will see you and my other cats and dogs some when I pass where ever that may be.
]]>Eh, there’s no accounting for tiny minds in tiny people…
]]>Just because he can and loves showing his ignorance to the entire world…a sad little person whose only pleasure in life is trying to stomp on other peoples emotions and proving just how much of a failure as a person he is…
]]>Not everyone needs a Bible to know the gifts of God…the animals we love and who love us back are such treasures.
]]>Agreed! We ALL believe as we will, as we CHOOSE to…it all comes down to choices of what we believe in and I CHOOSE to believe EVERY special cat in my LONG life plays in Queen Bastet’s garden…healthy, happy and waiting for me…
]]>I have to face that in a few days and its just killing my heart…but I know Sweety will be waiting for me along with the many others whom I’ve loved as much as I could love a human…I know they will be waiting for me, happy, healthy and eager for a good petting and combing from me!
]]>Sorry, I disagree with you…it’s THEY who are the masters!
]]>I love you, Sweety,
Your human mama ]]>
Youtube doesn’t prove anything.
]]>Wow. He was so hardline I thought for sure he would have been referring to at least something in the bible that can be interpreted to support what he wrote.
]]>The idea that cats (and all animals) have souls like people, live their lives in perfect accordance with God’s will (and so go to heaven) — that is in the Koran.
But the other things — such as mistreating a cat being a sin serious enough to send someone to hell — are still part of what a Muslim’s believes.
It’s a religious matter more than anything and makes no difference to the question here. No Muslim would think it’s OK to abuse animals nor would they consider them somehow holy or evil. They are, as the Koran says, “nations like you.” And they are. ]]>
Cats are especially beloved by many Muslims partly because the prophet Muhammed had a pet cat he loved named Muezza (I think I got that right. It’s close). There are lots of stories about this cat, some of them are very touching. There are also _hadiths_ that feature cats, a famous one concerns a lady who was outwardly very pious but goes to hell when she died because she neglected and mistreated her cat. I should say none of this is in the Koran, so a fondness for cats is not a requirement for Muslims although treating animals humanely and with respect definitely is.
So, at least in the religion of Islam, your cat has a soul like you do and, when it dies, goes to heaven. If you lead a good life, believe in God and do good deeds, according to Islam, you will go to heaven, too. ]]>
11 But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.
God’s spirit gives/breathes life unto EVERY LIVING mortal body to which God created. Yes, Animals go to Heaven!
]]>People have died & come back. Many testimonies on youtube. I have a dear friend who can see in the spirit, she is annointed by God. Animals go to Heaven.
]]>Tanya, God is a loving God and as stated in the bible, he wants his children to be happy. He made it possible for us to form a very strong bond with our pets that make us happy and because of these two reasons, I believe that our pets will be waiting for us when it is our turn to go home. I hope this helps, if even a little and trust in the Lord and lean on him during the times of weakness.
]]>Me too. I just found out today basically and had a total panic attack when i saw this article.
]]>
]]>Im new to this site but I really want to commend you for trying to share Biblical truth!! I admire and respect that and it’s refreshing to see!! I too am a Christian and a Cat Lady!!! 🙏🐱🐱
]]>I am with you Kate 100%. No one can tell me that my animals will not be with me when I die!
]]>I just lost my beloved cat very suddenly. This made me feel a lot better. Thank you.
]]>Gee Jack, you seem like a nice person.
Name calling doesn’t look good on anyone. Not even atheists who like to school others on what the Bible says.
Since you’re an atheist, I’m not even sure why you’ve decided to troll this thread at all. Just to poke fun at people maybe? Nice.
]]>Feel free to quote the Bible where it says animals go to heaven. Once you’ve given up trying and realize it’s not there, perhaps wonder again who interprets the Bible however they see fit.
]]>Purrfect Love, you stated “[…] As for “ghosts”, the ones we see of animals are “familiar spirits”. They are not our actual pets but take on the likeness of them to interact with us”.
Can you quote the section of the KJV bible where it says that? Or are you just making stuff up as you go along?
]]>That’s what I love about religious nutters like you. You interpret the bible in whatever way you see fit, without any scruples or compassion. You know – pretty much the exact opposite of what Jesus was on about. It’s mostly the atheists who can step outside the bullshit and call you out on your behaviour.
Where-ever you’re going after this life, I’m pretty sure you personally won’t be meeting any cats.
]]>I am not a catholic. What the pope says doesn’t mean anything to me.
]]>No i take back what i said. This makes sense. If there are horses, there are other Pets, animals. I didnt see this before i typed. I know that love comes from and goes to Heaven, and my cats are love
]]>Odd that you disagree with the pope:
http://www.uscatholic.org/blog/201602/heaven-all-30553
I’m an atheist myself, but your hardline stance is despicable. “Purrfect love”? “Purrfectly horrible”, more like.
]]>Thanks for your comment Heather. This post is based on what is taught in the Holy Bible in regards to animals, spirits, etc. If you don’t believe in the Bible, stating this is wrong is irrelevant because there are clearly two different beliefs here. It is also stated very clearly in the article that cats have souls so I am not sure where that argument is coming from at the end of your statement. I am however sorry for your loss. I know how hard it can be having lost a close friend of my own this past summer.
]]>WRONG. My deceased and extremely special cat @ 24 years beside me constantly has given me “signs” that he lives on; he loved dogs and our horses. How can you write that a cat is incapable of having a soul, based simply on the Bible which has been re-written hundreds of times?
He showed up when I thought of him, licked tears from my eyes, greeted stanger with much attention, and insisted upon sleeping with, and paying sweet attention to me. “Tigger” was extraordinary. He had a very loving personality.
He was an indoor boy who was euthanized in our home by a very caring service.
No, cats DO have a soul. You are wrong.
]]>Thanks for your comment Evelyn. According to the Holy Bible (KJV) there is nothing that states this is the case. Heaven isn’t where eternal life begins, New Jerusalem is. In heaven, we do not even have physical bodies. As for “ghosts”, the ones we see of animals are “familiar spirits”. They are not our actual pets but take on the likeness of them to interact with us. They do the same with people who have passed on. Only angels and demons can come and go from one realm to another.
