So uh yea. Bit sore to explain this long situation after my utter emotional collapse earlier this week due to cat death but hm. I coud really use advice on this, because my mom is suffering a lot from this situation.
So we have ... eight cats right now. Chichi, a mom of 5 kittens who are 11 weeks now, Vicky, 6 month old and Pinky who was with us for almost a year now. They are all outside because I live with my miserable grandparents and parents and my dad and his parents throw a fit about even possibility of an animal inside. Took us around three years until they started to let our dog stay inside and he STILL HAS TO GO OUTSIDE AT NIGHT as an elderly dog with hurt legs. But now that the kittens have spread all around Pinkybarely spends any time home and is like, much more shy, doesnt want to even come for hug - comes to eat, eats super fast then leaves, Its weird because Vicky is her kit. Before she was still asocial but she liked spending time with us, hanging around sleeping around and even let herself be pet. Now she comes to eat and then rushes out. Today I was getting kittens inside an outer structure we have them in and she was around but she was like... playing with Vicky runnning away from us and also chased one of the kittens. She is very obviously annoyed and irritated when she hung around and she ran away from me (I was not even chasing her I was walking to the house.)
It's making us a bit depressed because this week we lost her sister Phoebe. She was sweet cat who loved to cuddle and demanded pets. Today mom outloud frustrated said she is sad that it was her who ended up being ran over. And I think, I am not sure if that is partly why Pinky is so sad, because she watched her get ran over and burried. I dont know. I understamd cats work like they work, but I wish there was a way to make Pinky OK with staying home, both to like, make mom less sad and to make me less anxious (my anxiety like tripled. The day Phoebe died I was rushing to window with almost every car to check if it killed Pinky too.)
I dont know. Its all just too much and I am not sure what to do.
