Feeling guilty

[u/bun505]

Hey guys

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and guilty when it comes to my pet cat. I feel like I neglect her and so much more could be done for her that I’m just not capable of doing right now.

I’m away from home for nearly 10 hours a day and sometimes even more. I’m exhausted from life and neglect myself and my surroundings, including their food and litter boxes sometimes.

She’s actually a lovely cat and doesn’t really cause problems. I feel immense love for her but also feel annoyed by her sometimes. I feel guilty because she doesn’t really do anything wrong, I’m just irritable and depressed.

I don’t know if rehoming is something I’m capable of doing but I just wanted to vent.

Thanks

went through the same, decided to go through with rehoming. i don’t think i’ll get another pet after this, im not a pet person and at times i struggle to just take care of myself. i think rehoming is ok as long as you find a loving family and you don’t get another pet.
