As a crazy cat lady, I want to believe that I would see my cats in an after life, but much like Scully from the X-Files, I'm a science minded person and just can't believe. Most pastors preach that animals don't go to heaven. I personally think that if there is a soul- animals would have more of a soul than most humans. Anyone else have any thoughts on this line of thought? ...

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I don't necessarily believe in soul/afterlife, BUT hope that perhaps my brain might take me through a seemingly real nonending dream as I pass. If so, I hope such a dream is lucid and can go where I want it to. Therefore, all who I want "with me" will be, including my many beloved pets. (From one crazy cat lady to another).

Oh, I absolutely believe that all natural things have a soul, and animals definitely. I'm a believer in reincarnation - that our souls will inhibit another body after this one dies, and I believe that the souls we surround ourselves with now are ones that are always with us, animals included.
I'm unsure about if a soul can reincarnate from, say, a cat to a human or vice versa - haven't really researched that much. But, I do believe that in past lives people that I'm very close to were with me. And sometimes I do feel my cats and dogs were. (I swear my male dog was a romantic interest in a past life because he absolutely worships me!!!)
Plus, even if this isn't true, as long as you have them in your heart and memory, no matter what happens I believe you'll always be with them.
And if when we die we just, well, die and then nothing - then all this is moot! LOL
