ChronoTrigger Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I'd like to hope I'd be with my cats in heaven, but I'm wondering what others think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetorian_Brow Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Might want to ask them if they want to be with you. I would think that pets would be a secondary concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would rather see my dead cat Maytag then a lot of my extended family(the ones who are dead I never met-and there's that whole no Mormons ever in my family, I'd be the first... probably the only one, so I couldn't make any Last of the Mohicans references) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

classylady Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I've had many beloved pets throughout my life. I hope to one day on the other side of the veil, see them, express my love for them, and hope they can look at me with love too. I hope the Lord will not be displeased with my treatment of any of my pets or any other animals that have been under my care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mnn727 Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Joseph Smith said yes. Sad to say but I would much rather be with my pets than with a number of my family members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeuroTypical Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 One thing to keep in mind about people we don't want to see in heaven: If we are unable to forgive, we won't need to worry about seeing anyone in heaven, because that's not where we'll be. On topic, we have a large and growing list of pets we're looking forward to seeing. It's a point of contention between my kids and the Catholic neighbor's kids. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZionsRodeVos Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I hope that I will get to meet my pets and that if they still have a role as pets that they will want to be with me. Of course if they all are with me after this life I would have 300+ pets (mostly fish). But I'm most attached to the pet cats I've had throughout my life.

Swiper Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I do 100% agree with Mark Twain: "The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's." ~ Mark Twain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcreek Posted September 28, 2013 Report Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hmm ok some may find this a little strange but when I was 10 I had a pet steer named baby and I kid you not he was the smartest bovine Ive ever been around and Ive been around alot! He loved me and I loved him. We would take naps together and play together (no I wasnt deprived of childhood friends) as I would chase him and he would chase me etc. No different from a pet like a dog or cat, just alot bigger. I cried when my dad made me take him to the sale because that meant eventual slaughter. Kinda like the pig in that book Charlottes Web except that pig got lucky. Well I hope I see him again. That was 25 years ago now and he is long gone save the memory but I would really like to see that fella again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sadsister Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I am not going to share (too sacred), but I have absolutely no doubt that I will see my pets in heaven. I doubt Heavebly Father made them for life on earth only. I definitely look forward to being reunited with them. Big creek, that is not strange at all. I already asked Heavenly Father to let me have a horse from my college, since he had no technical owner. We were very close. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
