2416 Animals are God’s creatures. He surrounds them with his providential care. By their mere existence they bless him and give him glory.197 Thus men owe them kindness. We should recall the gentleness with which saints like St. Francis of Assisi or St. Philip Neri treated animals.

I still do not see the qualities of holiness summarized nor do I see the meaning of the capacity to be holy.

Sure I believe animals are in heaven. All animals including the dinosaurs, gnats, slugs, fish, birds, the whole place is packed beyond or imaginations.

But a presumption is not a fact. A feeling is not the justification of an idea. I’m hoping to see some solid justification of my belief(s)

Well, NO animal has ever committed an evil act, they cannot do this, that speaks volumes about their nature imo.
 
I believe, in heaven that the Lord witholds no good thing from thode who love Him.
I think animals are holy , and they’re affected by their human ‘family’
When my kids were growing up, we used to sit round the table each evening
to pray the Rosary , and my cat would sit on my lap, with both her front paws
resting on the table , as if, joining in our prayer. 🙂
