I have had my cat Kitty for three years now, its been tough because im a pretty solitary person, so its been a transition to get used to having a cat. I have a temper problem, i tend to hold things in and then explode in anger. I have never harmed anyone, but the fear is there. I feel very lucky to have her as shes been a blessing to my life.
For instance it used to annoy me when she would not leave my room when i needed her to and i lost it and started yelling at her and trying to get her out from under my bed. I realize that i was overreacting and i let her leave now when she wants to. I thought i had learned to be more patient with her, as i realize she doesnt understand my anger. ive had her three years and cant remember the last time i got angry before today.
But today, i have fever and was feeling sick. Im trying to get my cat to stop eating snacks, since shes a bit overweight at 13 lbs. This means she spends all day meowing for food. The good thing is that she finishes her canned food, because she was leaving her canned food to eat the temptations snacks.
Anyway, back to the point of this post, i was laying in bed with fever, and after the fifth time she jumped on my bed, i lost my temper and told her to leave me room, and i leaned up to throw the door.
thankfully it only tapped her, as i held my strength back at the last moment. I honestly dont know if its that i didnt see that she hadnt left yet, or if i was so angry i didnrt care.
Even though i didnt hurt her, i feel so guilty, and feel like she deserves a better owner. Am i just not fit to be her owner? Any advice would be appreciated.
