sometimes I worry that I use my cat as an emotional crutch. I got her when I was living alone abroad and was very lonely and was getting over a breakup, so we became very close. I'm 24 and single and sometimes I worry that my cat has become a replacement for a man in my life. If I'm away from her for more than a day, I physically miss cuddling her and having her sleep on my feet. Almost how I used to physically miss ex-boyfriends when I was seperated from them.
What do other people think? Is this normal for a cat-lover? Or am I stuck in a rut that I should shake myself out of?
I did go on a date the other night, so I'm not totally hopeless. I just worry that I'll start turning down mediocre dates, thinking "I'd have a better time at home with my cat". That wouldn't be good.... I don't wanna be a cat-lady! haha
