A Man Convinced His Priest Father to Bless His Cat in a Hilariously Wholesome Video
There’s this TikTok going around where a dad actually gets a priest to bless his daughter’s cat. Her dad pulls up to a church event, walks over to a priest, and says, “Hey, my daughter’s running late, but she wanted her cat blessed. Can you do it?” Without hesitation, the priest agrees and blesses the cat right there through the car window. Kendall Logan, the daughter, later posted the video on her TikTok account (@whoiskendallxlogan), and it’s been cracking people up ever since.
The cat, Leo, stays perfectly still in the car as the priest sprinkles holy water. The dad keeps a straight face, the priest smiles, and the whole thing feels quietly funny. Viewers loved it, and the clip has already passed 1.7 million likes and turned a simple moment into one of TikTok’s favorite feel-good videos this week.
Cats and the Church
Blessing animals is common in many churches, often around the feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals. The ritual honors how people and pets fit into each other’s lives. A cat at the center of it adds an extra layer of humor, considering their old ties to superstition. Now they’re simply part of the family, and this one got its blessing like any other.
That idea of blessing cats isn’t limited to one place. In England, a parish called St. Clement’s in Leigh-on-Sea once held an entire “Blessing of the Cats” service. The event was led by Father Clive Hillman, who explained that cats are a blessing to their owners and that all of God’s creatures deserve care and love. One cat, a white tabby named Ludo, reportedly wasn’t thrilled about the whole thing, but the priest handled it with patience.
Several other cats showed up that day, including two Persians named Misses and Jan, brought by an owner who said his late cat, Old Boy, was surely watching from above. The journalist who attended admitted feeling a bit out of place among the pews and the meows but described the service as calm and unexpectedly comforting. Father Clive ended by reminding everyone that every animal, blessed or not, is part of creation and will be all right in the end.
A Tiny Act That Made Everyone Smile
That same easy kindness shows up in Kendall’s video. Her dad stepped in without thinking twice, the priest treated it like the most natural request in the world, and Leo sat quietly through the whole thing.
