West to Mexico.

Yesterday evening we got our first lead on Belikin. The owner of Emiliano's Mexican Restaurant on Mission Gorge Road called to say that a waiter had seen a cat matching Belikin's description underneath the restaurant's deck, which overhangs a slight slope down to a golf course. The space is tight and fenced in, and full of junk — tiles, toilettes, cooktops — presumably from the restaurant. The waiter, who was very helpful, showed me where he had seen a cat out a window as he was bussing tables. When he went down to leave some food, he saw the cat again sitting amid the trash. We had left a flier with this restaraunt, and the waiter seemed sure it was the same cat.

We checked the area last night and this morning with no luck so far, and will return again this evening. Something had eaten the shredded beef left by the waiter during the night.

He's been missing about eight days now. I suppose I can sympathize with the desire to run away and live under a Mexican food restaurant.
