A very sweet poem. The artwork is elementary but very cute. It fits very well with the vibe of the book. Definitely happy to have this on my shelf and will revisit it.

There's something wrong with this book, the first few pages were fine but after I read the part about how God lets all the cats sleep in his bed the words got very blurry and hard to read. Weird how this happens, 5 stars tho

Same author/illustrator created Dog Heaven. Beautiful books about a sensitive topic.

Cute book for anyone who may have a kitty leaving for cat heaven soon, or who has left and need to have a tough conversation with kids.
And yes, ALL cats go to cat heaven.

Another winner from Cynthia Rylant. While I'm not crazy about the illustration style (kitty is a word my 10-month-old recognizes, but these simplistic drawings don't much look like the kitties he knows), I think everything else about the book is perfect. It captures everything that would make a place heavenly for a cat. I think it would be great for anyone who's lost a cat recently, not just for kids. One little thing I like is the various skin tones used for the angels and God: kind of a multi-cultural cast.

Read this at work because someone called and put it on hold and I was curious about it. Too spiritual for me, but there was one page that really made me tear up (“She will watch the old house where she once lived and wandered, and the people who loved her inside.”🤍)

I bought a few children's books about death - pet death specifically - around the time I had to let go of my cat Meredith this year. I thought maybe they would help me deal with the grief of losing my best friend of 17 years.
They did, just a little bit. If nothing else, it's a release sometimes to find something easy to read that makes you cry, just to get it out.

A lovely way to help explain the death of a cat. Cynthia Rylant envisions a heaven with cat toys and catnip everywhere, cats congregating on God's kitchen counter for tasty food and sleeping on his bed, being petted by angels and occasionally looking down at their former home.

This is Ms. Rylant's companion piece to Dog Heaven. Although it is classified as a children's book, it is for all ages. If you have lost a furry best friend, it will make you smile, it will make you cry. But in your heart, you'll know this is where your kitty is.
