    First things first, I worry a lot. I worry for the health and safety of others and I fear loss and death of the ones I love more than myself and I never like to experience such things as I've been through it before. So I know that some of the things I'm complaining of itt could be prevented if I care less but I don't know how to so if you could help with how I can care less I'd appreciate that.

    So basically my mood and the general mood in the house was a little dull these past few months so me and my family decided to bring in a lil kitty to brighten the mood.
    And it did, she's so beautiful and loveable and a great fun in the house but on the other hand she really makes my anxiety skyrocket sometimes. The cat's 3 months old and so small yet crazy and every few days we got a crazy incident that ruins the day for me because of her actions or the way my family handles her.

    One time she tried to run from the house and my lil brother PULLED her by the tail and I had to watch her for 2 days for any symptoms of tail fracture or nerve damage. Another time she bit off a piece of rubber that hangs from the zipper in the pocket of my shorts and I had to watch if she's gonna have any digestion problems. One time I accidentally dropped a med tablet on the ground while she's standing and she immediately ran to eat it before I could pick it up thinking it's a treat and I had to panic and run after her across the house to forcefully take it from her before she swallows it. So sometimes that weighs on my mental especially knowing that cats are such fragile creatures and I'm scared to get attached to her and then suddenly I lose her especially if I lose her because of a mistake of mine or someone else

    What should I do? I feel like my worrying is really ruining the pet experience for me and it weighs on my mental when I could be having more fun with her. But every example I gave is a really worrying situation that I'd feel ignorant if I just let it slide. I like to read on what she should and shouldn't eat and what I should and shouldn't do and I am always so strict about these things with my family and it's pissing them off too and I don't want to be the enforcing dude that kills the vibe for them either.

    That phrase alongside the famous "cats got 9 lives" phrase really annoy me because some things are just dangerous especially the 3 examples I gave like how can I guarantee that nothing bad will happen if I just decide to be ignorant with her?

    thats a young cat, they are usually out of control and wild around that time, thats when you gotta teach them good habits
    the older it gets, the more chill its going to be though
    way easier than any other pet

    You overreacting, man. The cat will just s*** the zipper back out, u know? And swallowing an antihistamine won't kill it.

    That being said, 6 lives left. Be careful, you're using them up at an alarming rate.

    Good on you for being an active/concerned parent, but honestly if it’s causing you and your family this much grief maybe you should consider rehoming her to another loving and responsible household. As she’s still a kitten it’d be better to do it sooner than later if you want to go down that route
