My angora cat is very beautiful and I had to run with broom blows to all the street cats that were around her because I didn’t want that she had ugly and cheap breedings. I thank to the Virgin of San Juan because my neighbouring doña Leti got a very beautiful male cat and now my cat has some pretty and hairy kittens.
This ex voto comes from Mexico. I love the public display of piety for the saints on votive paintings. In many Catholic countries it’s a custom to offer such images as a token of gratitude after a prayer has been heard or a miracle received. As for this painting, even pets get absorbed into the sacred here!
