I am refraining from being grumpy with the douche bags who are presumably feeding him because he is so skinny.

He is not returning this morning though he was in around 8am but poo pooed his food.

It is a hell of a lot of worries having an outdoor cat like Laurel. I trust he is wise enough to stay out of trouble but I dont know for sure since he is so bold.

With all the education about strict indoor cats in BC, i am paranoid to the max when Laurel is late.

The mantras prayers to Guru rinpoche are playing for his safe return.

And swift return I sure hope.

Om ah hung benzra guru padme siddhi hung

* It looks like Laurel may be fed elsewhere as he did not come back for breakfast.

It would be so very sucky if he we lost him in the first year. We have been always so very blessed with our animals,except Pele the 2 years old cat who died tragically in 2009.

I cannot cope with another tragic loss of a cat today. But such is the risk of letting your vagabond bold cat out every morning for a couple of hours. I am trusting his lucky star to stay alive and safe and return today, before noon. I cannot believe he would disappear so quickly from our life.

UPDATE

I went to look for Laurel and a worker brought him out to me. He must have been playing with him. Laurel is infinitely social. Thank you Guru Rinpoche for always looking out for him. I will also do the same in my human capacity.
