OK, we need to send out the call to St. Francis (patron of animals) and St. Anthony (patron of people who have lost stuff). They're both Franciscans so they ought to have a soft spot for a lost cat.

St. Francis, St. Anthony, chiefest flowers of your Order, please take pity on a small lost cat. We beg you to intervene on his behalf to the Blessed Virgin and to Our Lord, that (if it is His will) he may be swiftly restored to home and hearth. We ask this in His name, Amen.

When I saw that picture, I immediate thought of the liturgical text that says that Our Lady will crush all heresies (Gaude Maria Virgo, cunctas haereses sola interemisti). She is standing on top of a crescent moon, and we all know what religion that stands for. ;-) St. Francis and St. Anthony also being in the painting makes it even more appropriate.

I think I found what graphic I'm using on my blog for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. ;-)
