This feelings make me feel guilty. But there are moments that I cannot stand my cat, moments that i wish i could just dump her on someone else to deal with.
I know that sounds awful, and anyone here that has seen me through the years knows that i love my cats. I even home make food for them. I take time to pet them, and brush their teeth everyday. Even if i get home late from work.
Kitty is an incredibly spoiled and needy cat. My mom (god rest her soul) she used to sleep with her door open, Kitty would wake her in the middle of the night begging for food. So she would get food whenever she felt like it. Now that my mom is gone, im stuck dealing with her on my own.
Im so tired of her waking me up at 4 am on a Saturday. I tried for months not reacting to the yowling and door scratching, but then she switched to my nieces door, and started waking up her son. I used to sleep with a sound machine, which worked. But again, my niece complains of the cat at her door. i had to hear complaints of her door having scratches.
i tried tiring her out at night, but shes overweight and doesnt really like playing much. i tried leaving her food overnight. She manages to eat the frozen ice puck of food early in the night, or she ignores it to come and beg at my door. I've gotten to the point that i cant even hear her meowing without getting a headache.
I've had issues in the two houses i have lived in because family members cant stand cats. i cant find anywhere inexpensive to live because i have cats.
I came home sick the other day, it wasnt her food time. It was 1:00 PM. I had to go downstairs and give her treats in desperation just so she would allow me to sleep off the fever.
Im sorry, i know these feelings will probably get me a lot of angry responses, but i dont know what to do with these thoughts. I promised myself i would never rehome my cat, but if i cant find a way to coexist with her, i worry one day i will give in and rehome her. I already struggle with severe mood swings due to hormone issues that I have. Im currently taking megestrol to deal with some abnormal cells found in my uterus.
I am begging you all, how do i deal with her? I need peace in my life.
The cat I am having issues with is Kitty. Elsa is a really well behaved independent cat.
Note: she gets a yearly blood test, theres nothing wrong with her. She has always behaved this way.
Note 2: i dont feel this way all of the time. These feelings crop up when shes woken me up. The rest of the time i get along fine with her.
