I am having an issue with pre-grieving the inevitable day that I'll have to have my cat put down.
I am currently "cat mom" of the 10th cat in my lifetime. That's been over a period of 30 years. I was telling my husband this morning that "I just can't do it anymore." If you know what I mean.
I really don't want to adopt again after we put this next cat down whenever that may be. She is only 12 years old and fairly healthy but I just know what I've been through in the past and how painful it is. And I just can't do it anymore. I'm crying as I write this.
I went to pick up medication for my cat today at the veterinarian and once I got in the car I started crying uncontrollably just thinking about the day will have to put her down. Some of the worst days of my life is when I had to have one of my kitties put to sleep and then come home bury them. I'm just having a lot of anxiety about my cat now because I know the pain I've been through. I think the older I get the harder it gets too.
Thanks for listening.
