(They do a blessing of the animals on St. Francis's Day, but those of you who know cats will understand that I have always felt that my cat would much prefer not to be blessed if it meant being put in his carrier and forced to hang around in a box with lots of dogs and other cats and other animals in the near vicinity!)
It is really a lovely and funny idea - the reading was from Ezekiel (!), and we were enjoined not to be afraid of any terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day. The canon sprinkled us with holy water, we had a remembrance of dead cyclists and then made a circuit with our bicycles around the cathedral, which was rather amazing.
The pictures I got aren't much good, but they give the flavor of the event:

(I was asked for many years to bring Houdini to a blessing of the animals, but for exactly the same reasons Blackie has never attended, Houdini never did either!)
Awesomesauce!
That's officially hilarious!
