Blessings for pets - Daily Gazette

Posted: 17 May 2010 01:24 PM PDT

Last week I came across an essay, called "The Barking Blessed," about how "more faith leaders are performing blessings for dogs, cats and G-d's other creatures." (Click here to read the essay, which is featured on The Revealer, a website on religion created by Glenville native Jeff Sharlet.)

The article interested me because years ago I attended something called The Blessing of the Pets in Birmingham, Ala. I had just gotten a kitten and I thought, "What fun! I'll bring Paul to The Blessing of the Pets!" I called my friend Leigh Anne, and we hopped into the car and drove down to the park; Leigh Anne held Paul and comforted her, as Paul is like most cats, and hates driving in the car.

I had imagined that The Blessing of the Pets would be a fun and quirky thing to do on a Saturday morning, but as soon as we stepped out of the car I realized I had made a mistake. A better name for The Blessing of the Pets would be Festival of Dogs. The park was full of dogs. There were no other cats, presumably because no other cat owner was stupid enough to drag their cat down to The Blessing of the Pets. There was a guy on a horse and a weirdo with a boa constrictor draped over his torso, but cats? Of course not.

But I decided to carry out with my ill-conceived plan. I took Paul, bundled her in my arms and got in line to see the priest (Episcopalian, if I remember correctly.) Traumatized by the 200 dogs now surrounding us, Paul basically stopped moving — the only indication that she was still alive was the fact that her claws were now embedded in my shoulders.

Meanwhile, the dog owners were amazed. "I can't believe how well behaved your cat is," they said. "My cat would be up in that tree by now." I turned to Leigh Anne. "I think my shoulders bleeding," I said. Anyway, the blessing was succinct, though the priest did comment on what a rarity it was, a cat at the Blessing of the Pets.

Six months later, I got another kitten, Clem. When I saw the brief about the Blessing of the Pets in the newspaper, I shook my head. "Never again," I said. And so Clem never did get blessed. This means that if there's an animal hell, one of my cats is probably going to go there, and one of my cats is not. Which is unfair, but never again will I bring a cat to the Blessing of the Pets.
