Not all who Wander are Lost

Dear Friends,

Did you know cats use the earth’s magnetic fields to navigate back to their homes from far distances?  How cool is that?

My cat got out and went wandering earlier this week.  I didn’t realize it for a couple of hours…not until I saw the automatic food bowl had dropped food and wasn’t immediately consumed as is normal.

Growing up we had various indoor/outdoor cats in my household, so one would think I would be comfortable with cats wandering in and out.  And yet, Woody has always been an indoor cat and so mild panic set in when I realized he was gone and had been gone for a while and off I went, wandering in the rainy dark night, trying to find my cat.

I didn’t end up finding him…but he eventually meandered back home and meowed on my front porch to be let in before I went to bed.

It’s that uncertainty and unknown that sometimes gets to us, right?  I have lived experience with cats that are both indoor and outdoor, and yet, my own is not and causes anxiety when he decides to be a little escape artist.

My friend, if uncertainty and unknown is getting to you today and messing with your mind and body and causing worry, I hope you can breathe a little deeper and let go of that worry a little bit, even in the midst of the unknown.  

Have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista
