I'm not sure if this is the right board to post this on, but none of the other ones seemed to fit. Sometimes I feel like I'm TOO attached to my cat. I get so sad every time he's sick. I worry about him all the time- especially if I'm traveling (even though I always get a house sitter). My biggest fear is that he'll disappear one day and I won't know what happened to him. (I guess I worry someone will pick him up, or that he'll get stuck somewhere). He's indoor/outdoor and that's part of my problem, but he was 6 when we got him and had always been almost completely outdoors. Try as we did, we could not get him to stay indoors all the time. Each time we tried (once for two weeks), he would howl all night, urinate, and get completely depressed. I had to give up for my own health. Anyways, how do others deal with the anxiety that comes from loving a cat too much? |
