I have a cat, Who I’ve had since age 2, and He is getting old. I, however, know that when he dies that I’ll be forever a mess. A terrible, crying mess that’ll never be whole once he is gone.
He is my comfort animal, My First best friend, I’ve cried two days straight at the thought of him leaving. But the problem is that I’m a maladaptive daydreamer, and I also have Scopophobia (aka Fear of being watched)
So When I need to let out my emotions, because for some reason I’m now a maladaptive daydreamer and I don’t know why, I am forced to take him out of my room or else I’ll be uncomfortable doing it and I will be pent up with stuff. Yet when I leave him out, I remember all the fear of him dying and Me being a possible neglecter, I start tearing up and hating myself. I don’t know what to do. I know life is natural and Death is as well, I know all cats and animals will die at one point. I know I can move on as a choice, but I am physically And emotionally going to be in pain and lonely and just terrible when he is gone.And I don’t know what to do. I want to spend as much as I physically can with my cat, but My Maladaptive daydreaming, My always needing and wanting family who I am forced to raise my siblings mind you, and keeping other parts of my life steady, I can’t make up much time with him.
I feel terrible, neglectful, and Just hate myself for how I can’t give him the world. And My parents don’t even care, They just say he’s just a dumb fat old cat then laugh when he is chased by our dog.

Get yourself a kitten now and his passing won't be so bad.
ReplyIt might not be fair for the older cat at its time of life to have to adapt to a new boisterous kitten. The older animal's welfare should be the priority, not the owner's mental health. All owners know that their pet will die at some point.
