Hi guys,

Before going to the main issue, let me explain the situation a little bit.

10 months ago, Aki suddenly appeared in my garden. She was a very small kitten, very playful and energetic.

First I thought she might be lost, so I took a few pictures of her, posted on some social media groups, waiting for some replies - no one recognised her.

I couldn’t bring her in, because of my landlord, but one night, she was in the garden, and a couple of foxes was looking at her, so I instantly went outside and took her in.

Since then, I took care of her, spoke with the landlord, etc.

I also spayed her a month ago.

Now the hard part.

She sleeps with me all the time, even though she is mostly an outdoor cat. Wherever I go, she follows me. Even when she sleeps in my room, I have to be very quiet when I exit the room, because if she hears the door, she comes after me. I love her, and I feel like she loves me too.

When she got spayed, I took care of her all the time, pet her, speak with her, etc.

In a month from now, I will have

to leave the country for 3 months, and I cannot stop stressing about it, even though I will go back to my home country (i should be very happy about it, but I am not).

I don’t know what to do… I have a few housemates that feed her sometimes, and they like her, but they don’t pet her, or anything like that.

What should I do to stop stressing about it? I keep telling myself that she’s an animal, she’ll be fine, but it doesn’t work…
