Fostering Kittens Anxiety
5 years ago
TW// Animal Death
So, the other day we had an emergency foster for four little fuzzy kittens, their mother had passed and husband's mom was the first person called to pick then up. Of course she would, she and I both love cats.
Unfortunately, we had one pass that night and I bawled my eyes out. Today, the remainder aren't taking to the bottle very well and we think another might go soon.
I don't deal well with death, especially when it's an animal's. As much as I can prepare myself mentally, as much as I trick myself into thinking I can be strong and be ready, I'm really quite the emotional crybaby.. If Søcair hadn't been there I'd probably have cried the whole night away. Fortunately, we've both gotten heavily into Destiny 2 so I'm currently hyperfocused on that now.. And I mean, I'm such a sucker for Halloween events in games too.
I hardly got any sleep, I'm too stressed about the other kittens. I don't have much of an outlet right now, aside from hubby, but I don't want to bother waking him up right now for my stupid anxiety, so I'm writing up this because maybe it'll help?? Idk?? I might try and nap but I keep waking up every 5 minutes to check on them.
I can get through this, but they're only a couple days old and I hate that nagging back of the mind thought that they won't make it.. *sigh*
