A cat goes to Heaven and is met by St Peter at the pearly gates. St Peter says to the cat. As you were such a gentle and caring cat whilst you were alive you can have whatever you like up here. The cat replies that it would like a satin cushion to sleep on. This said St Peter would be done and the cat was allowed to pass through the gates
Next some mice stood at the gate and were met by St Peter. St Peter said to the mice. As you were such good mice when you were alive and did not steal any food or damage any property you can have anything that you want in heaven. After they had spoken with each other they said to St Peter that they would like roller skates just like they had seen children wearing. This said St Peter would be done and the mice were allowed to pass through.
The next day St Peter went round to see the cat and asked how things were, the cat replied that it was very comfortable and how kind he had been in sending around the meals on wheels the previous evening.
