As someone who works from home, my 2 cats are truly my everything. i know it can sound silly but they keep me grounded and happy, and are also very cuddly and loving with me only. They follow me everywhere and are always curious about what i’m doing. very interactive. When Im gone i feel like im wasting time being away from them, no matter what im doing. If someone sleeps in my apartment they wont cuddle them or sleep with them. It makes me never want to travel (i love being home regardless) because they bring me so much life and joy. i know a lot of pet owners understand, i guess im just wanting some encouragement or advice because i get anxiety about leaving them the second i have a trip planned. Especially because my boy cat has stomach issues. does anyone else feel this way, and find it very stress inducing and depressing to be away from them? I know they’re okay, but the thought of them being away from me just makes me feel horrible… when people say they’ll leave their cats for days with a bunch of food i am appalled. I wish i could take them with me, but they’re strictly indoors and don’t like traveling. Am i just a crazy cat lady? lol
