In a Word: Have you heard the one about the Alsatian, the Corgi and the cat arriving at the gates of heaven?
What is it about cats? People just love them. Some do not. That haughty, superior, even imperious demeanour; that “stroke me forpleasure” edict, “particularly behind the ears. Because, after all, you and all humans are my slaves. Just be grateful I’ve chosen you.”
Unusually, considering they had not gone to “the other place” and so must have arrived at the gates on merit, he asks each of them what they believe in. He then turns to the Corgi and asks: “I know you were very much favoured by one of our newer arrivals, Her Majesty Elizabeth II, by my grace Queen and Defender of the Faith, but what do you believe in?”
God, being God, of course knows this. He smiles and says “come on up here and sit on my left-hand side. Once the Corgi is comfortably in place, God then turns to the cat and says: “Ah, my cool feline friend, what do you believe in?”
