I am a bit surprised how affected I am by Laurel's accident. I really really was attached to this fella. My whole morning routine in thelast 1.5 years -2 years was centered around him.

I did think it odd how very much he needed my supervision for a smartish cat while outside. But I gave it to him, wondering how long it would last this pampering extreme of Laurel each morning.

He would not be dead if he had actually stopped crossing austin avenue to get to the park and stopped harassing the cats indoor at Donna's too.

These were his two toxic traits of behaviour that I always saw could cost him his life.

The only two things he did I hated.
