I'm missing my babies soooooo much, it's ridiculous. I keep trying to tell my mom to try and sneak Pirate into the hospital here in Chicago, possibly going undercover as a therapy cat
, but that would be a wee bit hard seeing as I'm like 2 hours away from my house right now. I think about them ALL the time, and I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up with Mia lying next to me on the bed just staring at me. Like it literally will wake me up from habit of her doing that all the time
. Last night I swear I heard Taylor's nighttime "hollering" in my sleep. And unfortunately I totally forgot to bring my camera down here with me with all their photos on it. But at least I have their pictures that I loaded onto this site to keep looking at. My biggest worry is that my mom was supposed to talk to my neighbor's daughter, who is the one that recently just started watching them when I would be in the hospital. I didn't have time to talk to her before I left for the hospital, and I know that I can't rely on my mom to call her, I can't rely on my mom for anything like that really unfortunately. Instead she is taking everything upon herself to take care of them, which I specifically did NOT want to happen, because that stresses the crap out of her. She always makes things more complicated than they actually are, she has NO common sense. So, I think tomorrow I'm going to have to take it upon myself to call her and get this all straightened out. My original plan was that my mom and her were to take turns caring for the cats daily. But I guess on the upside my cats are used to my mom much more than Caitlyn (neighbor). But still, I think I have the right to be kinda mad.
But all in all, I just really miss them. Whenever they ask me here if I have any children, I say yes and then say they are furry with four legs and they think I'm a nut lol. But I do consider them my children just as much as any real biological child, and I think most of us share that belief with our pets, am I right?
I just want to know that they are being very well cared for and being pampered and played with, getting lots of hugs and kisses and treats. And with two people taking care of them I know that they would be getting so much love it's nuts.
I'm also worried about Pirate, since he has feline herpes, and he has really bad flare-ups during times of stress, and if I'm not there he gets incredibly stressed and flares up badly. I don't like the thought of him being all sicky as a direct response to my absence. I kinda feel like I'm making him sick, so it's a big guilt thing I think too. But I have the feeling that when I get back I will probably have to immediately bring him to the vet to get him on a course of antibiotics and bump up his L-lysine supplements. And there's nothing I can do, I feel useless sitting in a hospital so far from my babies.
Does anyone else feel an overwhelming amount of guilt when they have to leave their babies for extended periods of time? I have the feeling that I'm overreacting and just stressing myself out for nothing, but still... They're my kids and I just want what's best for them to make them as comfy and cared for as possible during my LONG absence.
