I feel like this is a ridiculous post, sorry. But I just cant stop thinking about it at work and worrying and know that I can get some reassurance here.
My cat went out early this morning at about 6ish. I left for work at 8:30 and she didn’t come home so I had to leave her. I hate leaving my cats outside when I am not home due to a bad experience with my other cat when he went out overnight and came back in the morning with a fractured leg. I won’t get home until 6 tonight and I’m worrying about all of the things that can happen to her while she’s out and if she gets hurt I won’t know until tonight. It’s the past experience with my cat that haunts me, I still feel tremendous guilt because what if he fractured his leg at 1am and I didn’t get to him until the morning at 7 and he was hurt all that time at the back door waiting for me.
I have a camera now in the back and I saw her earlier crying at the back door and I feel so so guilty. She isn’t there now but the thought of leaving her until 6 tonight is worrying me. She has never been out all day before. She is a year old and has only just started going outside.
I know I’m over worrying but I just need people to talk sense into me because I can’t concentrate on my work
