What is wrong with me? Story time My cat got into my basement

*I don't know how I feel, let's ask /adv/*

Cats as other animals are extremely sensitive beasts, they can detect mood swings in the people around them, they can smell hormonal changes, or when someone is sick. They even know when death is coming (if it's their turn, they go in hiding). I have had this cat for 17 years, never attacked me or growled at me, save for one time: I was absolutely livid after an argument with my mother, and I was sitting on a desk at home. Cat came near me, I merely stared at her on the floor and she growled, then backed off.

Either the cat is distancing herself because it knows you're pissed in general, or something's not right with the cat itself. How old is her?

Consider letting a friend or family member take care of your cat until you feel better. Make up a reason if you don't want them to know you ugre to kill it.

Don't get involved with pets if you lose it over your own well being. That cat is your responsibility. Kindness is earned through recognizing your pain, but not attacking or resenting the animal for it, instead nurture the damn thing. Fuck your scratches. Your "anger problem" is a fucking tantrum. Grow up.

That's honestly pathetic OP. An animal is indeed your responsibility and if you can't handle even a few scratches then I know you shouldnt even own an animal. Give it to someone else who isn't as impulsive or childish as yourself. Take it out on something that isn't alive or yourself.
