Let’s get this right. Cat spelled backwards is tac, which phonetically is a sharp thing that can leave nasty scratch marks, both on your person and your interior walls, while the reverse of ‘dog’ is God …
Maybe that explains why St Albans Church welcomes Fido to a special service every year.
It’s true that the Blessing of Pets Service is open to all domesticated animals, but on September 9, it was a canine-only affair.
Revd Smitha Prasadam was at hand to provide the blessing, and once again the entire congregation was very well behaved.
Had a cat showed up it might have been different, but the moggy owners had the good sense to bring photos to the blessing instead.
