Minka has entered into the doors of Cat Heaven. When Minka the cat first arrives, she meets her angel buddy, Chloe. Chloe will be with her every day during the first phase of Cat Heaven before ascending to Higher Cat Heaven. Chloe tells Minka that she can have any wish fulfilled that she thought was left unfinished on Earth, as a way of purging the past before ascending into Cat Heaven properly. Minka says all her needs were met on Earth. She was loved, had a wonderful home, and many friends. Only one wish pops into Minka's head: She wants to protect her cat friends from any harm. Chloe says such a wish has never been granted to an angel cat. One morning, Minka notices a young cat running quickly through the doors of Cat Heaven and recognizes him immediately. He is Willie, a close neighborhood friend. Minka tells him about her desire to fly down to Earth to protect their friends. She convinces Willie to join her in her wish. All Cats Go to Cat Heaven is a profound, touching story about issues facing many children, including friendship, being kind to others, keeping safe, and accepting diversity. Seen through a gentle cat's eyes, Cat heaven is a place where life is beautiful. Valda V. Upenieks received her Ph.D. from the University of Washington, and has worked in various nurse leadership and consulting roles throughout the country. "Minka was my first cat and she lived for 17 years," she says. The author has two daughters, Laura and Lasma, who live in the greater Seattle area with their two dogs and two cats.
