The Cat Came Back!!!
Doug, the man who runs the service department at High Park, saw the cat he though was Ciaran 4-5 times this morning. He called me and suggested that we come by around 7pm after it had been quiet for a while. He came back to the park to let me into the service area, and sure enough we found baby Ciaran!
He was hanging around the food dish left out for Cricket, the resident cat of the service yard. I walked up to him slowly. I got about 10 feet from him and he ran away a further 6 feet or so. I got down on my hands and knees, opened up the can of wet food I had brought, to which he perked up his ears. I slowly crawled toward him, talking softly and bringing the can of food with me. When I was about 5 feet from him he ran over to the wet food. I pet him a few times and then picked him up. He tried to bolt, but I had a good grip on him. I put him inside my coat and brought the can of food up to him to eat. He went easily into his carrier and we brought him home!
I think that Doug must be a guardian angel. Uber good karma coming his way!
Thank you to everyone for the good thoughts, prayers and finger crossing...
My baby is home!!!
