Christians, do you believe that pets will be in Heaven?

It wouldn't make sense for animals not to be there. That said, people who say "It won't be heaven if X isn't there" aren't ready for heaven. Heaven is about being with Christ and worshipping him. If you're more concerned with whether or not Fluffy the cat is there than being with Christ, that's a problem. I'd recommend reading The Great Divorce by CS Lewis.

Being with Christ and worshipping him? Ugh sounds like heaven is a long weekend with a cult. If that’s what it is I don’t want to go. Also seriously how much praise and worship does God need anyhow?

Not the quoted PP. However if you think this sounds like a weekend long cult you don't understand

1) the Christian concept of worship ("in everything give thanks implies a lot more than just standing around singing praise songs)
2) the Christian idea of how good worship is for people
3) the philosophical idea of what it means for something/someone (in this case God) to be an unending, unchanging, all-powerful, perfect good
