Omgf I told you! You've done everything right, they just need time. Unrelated, but kinda related? For the last couple years I've been having this recurring dream that my house is full of dead kittens. Like I open a drawer and there's dead kittens inside, cupboards, behind the couch, under the bed, everywhere. It's so fucking traumatizing
Kinda yeah, but the dreams predate that. I think it's been close to a decade that this has been plaguing me
When I was really young my cat had kittens and one died, but I don't think that has anything to do with it because I wasn't attached to it. When that cat eventually died a few years ago it broke me down like nothing else ever has, and shortly after my best friends childhood cat that I had been looking after came to a very unfortunate and traumatic end. I had to tell her it ran away But those things aside, I think it's more of a metaphor that I subconsciously give myself in the worst way I can.
Omg what happened to your friends cat?!? On a lighter note, I just woke up from my nap with Herbert and Cola both spooning me on either side
