How has your pet brought you closer to our great Lord and Saviour? I personally felt our Lord's presence increase upon getting a dog, he truly made me feel the warm presence of our Lord and perfectly fulfilled my prayers to spite heretics who aren't allowed to have them.

All in all it has been really enriching to have a friend to share my faith with.

My parrot has somehow learned the phrase "Oh God, yes, yes!" It is truly a sign of gods love to hear her shout out in praise!

That or thin walls.

I mean, I'm not sure if the goats count as pets per se, but the rituals have been going really well.

'Hope' is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune, without the words, and never stops--at all.

Sure have! That is, given the number of times I've yelled, 'God drat it, STOP THAT!' at various animals.

Every time my barfing cat barfs on the carpet, I tell her "God dammit I hate you so much." It makes me feel much closer to the Lord.

One time while I was sleeping Apollo stepped on my chest directly on an incision site from a recent minor surgery, and I shouted "loving Christ, cat!" as I threw him across the room. The little rear end in a top hat is just fine, of course. Adorable bastard.

there's definitely no logic
to human behaviour
When my dog empties the trash can all over the kitchen I say "Jesus Christ" a lot.

When he's being super cute, like if he's having a doggy dream, I will say "Oh my god look at that dog" to anyone within earshot.

I'm sure the Lord shakes his Holy Head with me and also goes "Aaaaw, what a beautiful beast which I hath created."

Of course! All dogs go to heaven, even the ones who were jerk faces in animated movies.

The goats are another story. I'd have to say yes, by virtue of shouting at them. The horse too, though in the sense of "God dammit, if burying that thing wouldn't be such a hassle I'd wish it dead." It kicked my favorite goat and I can hold a grudge.

St. Francis of Assisi posted:

All things of creation are children of the Father and thus brothers of man. ... God wants us to help animals, if they need help. Every creature in distress has the same right to be protected.” “Not to hurt our humble brethren is our first duty to them, but to stop there is not enough. We have a higher mission - to be of service to them wherever they require it.” “If you have men who will exclude any of God's creatures from the shelter of compassion and pity, you will have men who deal likewise with their fellow men."

So there you have it, OP.

But I still love eating chicken, so sorry animals.

I think if you're friends with the chicken in the first place and agree over whiskey to feast upon the other's corpse once they die, it all works out in the end.

In other news, drink with your chickens.

Whenever investigating loud sounds, this little poo poo of a cat is always there, perfectly still, staring back like I just interrupted a summoning ritual. Should I get the Catholic Church involved?

I don't want to let this get out of hand, though. Are there any intermediate blessings/rituals that would hinder any negative entities the cat is trying to interact with while we wait for the papacy to get behind us on this?

That's more for inflicting than removing negative energy. Or bringing a pet back when you accidentally back over it in the driveway. Then all you need is a quick go with an air compressor or bicycle pump to get the body back in to the proper shape and no-one need ever know until the rot sets in.

Dunk the little perisher in a bath of holy water. If it spits and fights like mad, you know it's purging whatever evil is possessing your cat.

Not quite sure if this is sound advice, as cats are well-known haters of water. Please don't make me drown my cat.
