Funny bone: The cat that went to heaven

Our first cat joke has arrived, courtesy of Mary Schmidt.

Remember, we are trying to gather 100 or more dog and cat jokes and riddles for a worthy cause -- that worthy cause being laughing. (The rest of our plan can be read here.)

Feel free to send them via the comment button, or in an email to mutts@baltsun.com. We aren't requiring they be original -- no pedigree is necessary -- so any of those that float around the Internet, in our view, are cut- and paste- and send-able.

Here's Mary's cat tale:

Once there was a really good cat who died and went to heaven. When he got to the pearly gates, St. Peter met him and told him that because he had been a good cat on Earth he could have anything he wanted.

The cat had always wanted a big fluffy pillow like the one her master had on Earth so that was her request.

A few days later four really good mice died and went to heaven. Once again, St. Peter met them at the pearly gates and told them they could have anything they wanted for being so good.

They had seen children roller skating on Earth and thought that sounded like fun so they requested roller skates.

A few days later St. Peter decides to go check on the cat and make sure all is well with her. When he arrives at her pillow he asks her, "Is the pillow the right type? Are you comfortable? Do you need anything else?"

To which the cat replied, "The pillow is wonderful and those meals on wheels are terrific!"

is such a great idea, and I wish you all good luck with the upcoming trip to Greece. I've seen the cat overpopulation problem there first-hand.

The story of a preschool teacher at Baltimore’s Father Kolbe School who had to replace her class guinea pig, who died over the winter holiday. A harrowing tale of what it was like to make homemade pet food ...

Though her clean freak of a mother refused to allow her to get a dog, she has had a number of pets through the years, including goldfish named Bob and Fingle, a betta fish named Ichabod, a wild rat terrier named Wendel, who she shared with a roommate, and, currently, sweet, sweet kitties named Leo Sesame and Milo Pumpkin and a little rescued pup named Teddy Bean.
