Hello,I am new to the site,I came across this site while searching info on cats.I am an owner of a rescue cat that my husband found in the garbage,3 days old,I'm assuming because his eyes were still closed,I took care of him as if I gave birth to him,and I am proud to say he's almost 2 yrs old and as healthy and happy as a cat can be.my problem is ever since then I cannot help myself when it comes to strays,in my neighborhood there a few,on my route there is one (I am a mail carrier). I feed them and pet them and show them love if they allow me enough to trust me.I have one that comes every day to eat.the others come here and there.I even ran outside at 12 am one night because I heard cats fighting outside.my point is,it hurts my soul to see these cats with no home,to imagine what they go thru on a daily basis to stay alive,to have to defend themselves and always have to look back,even when they eat.I get depressed about it,to the point that it effects my life sometimes.my husband is very supportive but also says I can't save them all,he's right I can't. The one that comes everyday is so sweet,n let's me pet him.he waits at my door every day when I get home from work.I want to take him in,but I'm scared that he would fight my house cat.and on the days that he won't show,I get worried and start to cry,sometimes he won't come for a few days,and all I do is worry,worry,worry. Is this normal?? What can I do to have a normal life and stop worrying so much about strays?
