If there's anything to the idea of a traditional afterlife, I suspect cats get in for reasons completely opposite to those for humans.
Cat #1: 'I was friendly, helpful and docile.'
Cat version of St. Peter: 'Go to hell.'

Cat #2: 'I was lazy, arrogant, and selfish. I scratched and bit my humans without provocation. I acted as if I couldn't hear them, ruined their furniture, and pushed their good china off the table.'
Cat version of St. Peter: 'Wait here, we'll get you a bigger halo.'
