What Kind Of Pets Do Angels Have?

Can you imagine an angel -
Walking a dog?
Feeding a goldfish?
Riding a horse?
Keeping an ant farm or apiary?
Hammering together a hutch?
Being amused by a parrots voice
or the tiny wings of a canary?
Or can you imagine an angel -
Celestial and radiant with a kitten
curled at its feet or in its lap?
While there is surely a place in Heaven
for all God's creatures,
the cat has a special place in the order of things.
