Is it permitted to bless a new pet?  Note: I said “bless,” not “baptize.”
May I use Holy Water?
Is there a particular prayer?
I know many n.o. parishes and some Protestants hold a “blessing of the animals” on October 4, Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
Will a priest do it?
Or would it be wrong? Sacrilegious?
I’m adopting a cat.
My old cat died and I like having a feline companion.

A priest blessed our dogs. The dog breeder was actually one of those elderly ladies who are into the new age and call themselves a white witch so I definitely wanted the dogs blessed! She was a sweet lady, just deluded. I wish I’d given her a miraculous medal.

There is a blessing for animals the priest's ritual.
