Ten Animals

The cat is the only domestic animal not mentioned in the Bible. Clearly, the cat never entered heaven. Indeed, tradition says only ten animals did. They are listed here:

Ten animals, and ten alone
Were raised to Paradise-
The Gate is closed to Cuttlefish,
The Gate is closed to Flies;

The Crabs and Worms must stay outside,
The Geese and Chimpanzees-
But Kratim's there (the Dog who speaks).
He prays along with these:

The Calf of Abraham; the Ant
Of Solomon, in prayer
With Sheba's Cuckoo; Moses' Ox;
Muhammad's milk-white Mare.

There Ram of Isaac, Jonah's Whale
And Saleh's Camel raise
Their voices to their risen Lord
With Balaam's Ass... who brays.
- W.R.E.
