Ping circa 2006. Youthful, sweet, cuddly. Ping today. *Grouchy* Ping of the future = Forgiving, gentle, warm hearted ???
Today Blaise and I took Ping to church for the annual Blessing of the Animals. (St. Francis' Feast Day is October 4.) We said a prayer that "Saint Ping" will be an angel of a cat from now on. Amen!
As you can see, Blaise does not always have saintly behavior! Blaise's name, however, comes from a saint whose feast day we observe every February. St. Blaise is known for blessing throats, as he once saved a young boy choking on a fish bone. He also is the patron saint of wild animals. Perhaps he can intercede on behalf of our cat? We expect that our Blaise will have lots of spunk, just like the saint he's named after!
