Despite the way science has disgraced itself in the last fifty years by climbing on certain socio-political bandwagons, I still favour science over faith. Therefore I don't accept any supernatural aspects of religion. But that doesn't stop me from pretending. Suppose there is a heaven. If there is, when I get there I want to be surrounded by all my dogs. Mick Rip Sam I Sally Sam II Toby Lola Bella I've enjoyed such friendship from these dogs in my life.

If you got there and they were there then wouldn't that *be* heaven? ;-)
Yup, 'man's best friend', generally also a very good family friend and able to share you life, indoors and out and happy and are willing to do so.
The ultimate definition of 'companion animal' for many.

Dogs tend to love unconditionally. I think it has to do with the pack behaviour, which we interpret as love though, sadly. Brian
I am pretty sure that if they are there then so will be my two dogs and two cats - although I did not have cats and dogs at the same time!
Well, yeah. Occasionally there are too many cats and dogs up there. Torrential rain follows.
Many christians assert that dogs don't have souls but that men (and perhaps women) do. They have no solid scriptural basis for this assertion. Of course I share your disbelief in the whole thing, although I think in principle a brain's function could be duplicated - canine or human.

Obvs there must be cats and dogs in heaven. It wouldn't be heaven otherwise.
Not sure how it works with rabbits. A lot of people like fluffy rabbits.
My cat liked rabbits too.
Would cats in heaven have to be vegetarian?

The trouble is that the ex gfs might also be there.

Why not?
Yebbut that would just be a copy of you.
Dunno, but the dog owners would spend eternity filling little plastic bags, while the cats would take a dump in the neighbour's garden.

My impression is that it would not work properly without all the constant sensory and chemical input from the body, but perhaps that could be recorded and duplicated too; in which case I doubt if one could tell the difference, especially if there was no other copy nearby.
Dog owners picking up s*it would stay in heaven. Irresponsible cat owners who let their pets s*it in the neighbours garden would find themselves immediately in hell.
According to the Jehovah's witnesses yes. Exactly how that works I'm not sure.
NT
If done perfectly no-one could tell the difference except *you* who would be trapped in the original body (which may be destined for the incinerator).
No cats can't be vegitarian their bodies need meat. Not sure about dogs.
But is Heaven or Hell in the EU ?
A friend sent me a postcard from Hell in Norway and Norway has a special de al with the EU so......
deal with the EU so......
Specifically taurine, which isn't present even in eggs, and vitamin D3
Bad luck for heavenly bunnywabbits then
