curator is sad

Yes. I am sorry to report that I am sad. I am even sorrier to report that my utterly beloved orange tabbycat has gone and come down with some mysterious high fever, which means she's now spending the night at the emergency vet.

And so my offering today is an old Russian prayer.

Hear our prayer Lord, for all animals,
May they be well-fed and well-trained and happy;
Protect them from hunger and fear and suffering;
And, we pray, protect specially, dear Lord,
The little cat who is the companion of our home,
Keep her safe as she goes abroad,
And bring her back to comfort us.
