My cat has been missing all day. He has never been outside. All we can figure is maybe when bringing groceries in, he slipped out.I am trying to hold it together because I don’t want my boys upset. As the night comes to a close it is getting harder. I could use prayers for me, I am already fighting depression(I had posted a prayer about that) and if he can not be found I will be devastated.

Are there any prayers specifically made for pets that I can say?
 
Pray to St.Martin de Porres. He loved cats! 👍

Don’t worry. Maybe your cat, if he/she isn’t used to being outside, got scared and is hiding. If the cat doesn’t come home tonight, he/she will be outside your door in the morning just waiting to come in.

I’ll pray too!
 
Our father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day, our daily bread,
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us,
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
 
Feel really sorry for you I will say a special prayer for safe return.
 
I have just said three Hail Mary’s for you, I am only now re-checking the forums after completing my daily Rosary prayers.

Hail Mary full of Grace, The Lord is with thee, Blessed art thou amongst women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus, Holy Mary mother of God pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death Amen.

St. Francis of Assisi, and St. Anthony of Padua, Saints who loved animals and St. Anthony as the helper in finding what is lost, please intercede and ask God to protect TwinMommy’s cat and bring him safely back home as soon as possible. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy mercy hear and answer me. Amen. :crossrc:
 
Praying, and so are my kids. Especially my oldest daughter. When we first moved here our cat disappeared for three days!!! She was devastated because she bottled raised this little stray, litter trained him–everything–by herself. His eyes weren’t even open when she found him, and he was never outside again. He was a six year old spoiled house cat lost in the country during an ice storm. We thought we would never see him again, but sure enough St. Francis heard my daughters prayers. He came home in the middle of the night with icecycles hanging off his tail! He ate and then slept for two days. That was two years ago and he still won’t go outside again. Guess he learned his lesson the hard way. I pray your cat does the same thing.
 
Hopefully he’ll get hungry enough to find his way home. My neighbor’s cat came home after about three days.

PATER NOSTER,
qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

I will pray.

Check with the animal shelters and see if they found him. Hope he shows up.

We had a cat once who disappeared for a month and a half. I was devastated as she was “my” cat. One day we returned from dinner and she was on our doorstep, meowing.

St. Francis is a patron saint for animals. St Anthony is for “something lost.”

I am praying for kitty and you and your family.

If I was with you I would give you a hug.

It is okay. Kitty will be fine. Cats love, love, love to be outside - even if he is an inside only cat.

Sometimes our animals are stronger than us - even when we know its best for them to be inside.

I have learned sometimes you just have to accept something you don’t want. I’ve had to leave home not knowing where the cat was when I knew it needed to be inside. I’ve had to leave seeing the cat - and still knowing I could not get him inside. I had to learn that its okay - I have to tend to my kids and our responsibilities and I just can’t do everything. I had to learn to not let this keep me in knots - but just accept it and move on. Very hard to learn, but necessary for me to do.

I share this because maybe it will let you know both my concern for you and your family and the poor kitty who should not be out - and to let you know I think I understand your heartache - and to offer you a friend to say “I hope you feel better.”

Peace.

PS - We’ve had lost cats - appear again - who never left the house in the first place - lost in kitty’s own private space inside the house.
 
Our father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,
On Earth as it is in heaven.

And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
 
I pray that you find your cat. You may find comfort in meditating the following psalms:

“The eyes of all wait for Thee,
And Thou givest them their food in due season.
Thou openest Thy hand,
And satisfiest every living thing with favour.” (Psalm 145)

“O LORD my God, Thou art very great;
Who sendest forth springs into the valleys;
They give drink to every beast of the field, the wild asses quench their thirst.
Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven, from among the branches they sing.
Who waterest the mountains from Thine upper chambers;
The earth is full of the fruit of Thy works.
Who causeth the grass to spring up for the cattle,
And herb for the service of man; {N}
to bring forth bread out of the earth.
Beside them dwell the fowl of the heaven,
From among the branches they sing.
The trees of the LORD have their fill,
The cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted,
Wherein the birds make their nests; as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.
Thou givest it unto them, they gather it;
Thou openest Thy hand, they are satisfied with good.” (Psalm 104)
 
Dear TwinMommy, don’t worry, he’ll show up. Here’s a prayer I found:

Father,
We ask You to help us find TwinMommy’s cat,
our dear pet who is now lost.
We know that You placed animals on the earth
for many reasons, including companionship for man.
We therefore ask You to help us find our lost companion,
and pray that You will keep him safe
and protect him from harm until he is found.
We join our prayers with St. Francis of Assisi,
St. Anthony of Padua, and all the saints,
and pray in the name of Jesus Christ Our Lord. Amen.

He’ll show up, don’t worry.
 
Praying for you and kitty.
God Bless~ Bix

Heavenly Father, our human ties with our friends of other species is a wonderful and special gift from You. We now ask You to grant our special animal companions Your Fatherly care and healing power to take away any suffering they have. Give us, their human friends, new understanding of our responsibilities to these creatures of Yours. They have trust in us as we have in You; our souls and theirs are on this earth together to give one another friendship, affection, and caring. Take our heartfelt prayers and fill Your ill or suffering animals with healing Light and strength to overcome whatever weakness of body they have.

Your goodness is turned upon every living thing and Your grace flows to all Your creatures. From our souls to theirs goodness flows, touching each of us with the reflection of Your love. Grant to our special animal companions long and healthy lives. Give them good relationships with us, and if You see fit to take them from us, help us to understand that they are not gone from us, but only drawing closer to You. Grant our prayer through the intercession of good St. Francis of Assisi, who honored You through all Your creatures.

Give him the power to watch over our animal friends until they are safely with You in eternity, where we someday hope to join them in giving You honor forever.

Amen. :crossrc:
 
Thank you all so much. My cat means so much to me and to my boys. I will be driving around the neighbor in a bit to see if I can find him. The rain has stopped so I do hope he comes out of hiding. I really appreciate the prayers so much. I am really upset over this.

St. Francis, please help this cat and all lost pets find their way home.
 
My neighbor brought my kitty home. She saw him in her yard.

Thank you all so much for the prayers!!
