My mood has sunk in the last few minutes, after speaking with a friend about Mr Leons (the cat) infected eyes. She told me that if I travel again then it's best that someone stays in my place because cats are territorial. It got me thinking if the people in the house had just let me have a friend stay in my place April wouldn't have died probably.
I'm having all these dark thoughts, blaming them for killing her...but really, they were protecting their kids from someone they didn't know coming into their home, which I can't blame them for. They didn't like the vibe of the guy I chose, and it turned out that he was a bit of a thief, so it's good they listened to their intuition...but still, if I'd been able to find someone better, April might be alive today?
I'm feeling guilty and worried about mr leon. His eyes are all infected and so sore. He won't let me swipe them with salty water, and they are so pus filled. There was even blood on the cotton when I did get a swipe in. It freaked me out. I can't take him to the vet until tomorrow.
Now I've fallen back into blaming myself for killing the cat somehow. I know that's not going to bring her back, and I'm being indulgent. It's not helping anything. If she'd been able to stay here she might not have died!!
My anxiety levels have increased. I'm worried that what if I want to travel in the future and this happens again? Silly to think like that of course. It probably won't happen again...that would be really unfortunate, and it's useless to think that far into the future anyway. Anything can happen.
