    Like you my wife and I have loved and lived with cats for fifty five years. They and a great dependable friends and certainly helped with my anxiety. We too presently have a once feral mother cat. Fortunately the kittens were adopted but the mother cat was deemed un-adoptable so she was neutered and vaccinated and we were told to release it in the barn and feed and water it as needed. Well she promptly moved into the house and has become a wonderful companion for us.
    A warning though, years ago one of our cats ate yarn and it tangled in his gut. The vet operated but he couldn’t.t be saved’ We blamed ourselves of course so any stringy type of material is now fully boxed. So be cautious of having open topped boxes of yarn under your bed’. Enjoy Clove, it seems that the two of you found each other at just the right time of your lives.

    I admire you so much!! You're honesty about your anxiety and how you choose to cope with it....you made an excellent choice. As someone who is a lifetime anxiety patient, I've always said that the single most calming thing for me is the sound of a cat purring....calm, loving, trusting. And thank you SO much for adopted, especially an older cat...adopted and neglected animals always make the best, most loyal pets. Please continue updates on how things are going with you and Clove. Good luck!!

    You have such a very special cat! Red tabby femaies are very rare, so you're lucky to have her. She seems very sweet and I think soon she'll not need her hiding space under the bed anymore. She looks pretty confident and comfortable. If you can, buy her one of those shelves that attach to the windows. It'll be a lovely spot for her to watch cat tv.

    I love all your videos Hayley! We are alike regarding anxiety and I also have anxiety induced PTSD...Having cats in my life has made such a calming difference, as what I have learned from them has been invaluable as far as self confidence and just the "it is what it is" attitudes! My darling Bandito (Tuxedo!) was my solid Rock and the best supportive loving friend you could ever have when my husband of nearly 40 years passed suddenly in 2017.....There is no greater or more intimate friend than a beloved cat!

      @Mizayp 3 года назад +1

      YES! I was just about to comment this. My little fur baby had to be put to sleep because of this. She got a hold of some yarn and accidentally ate it (apparently this is common) and it got too twisted around her intestines and they couldn't operate. She never acted sick or had any problems leading up to it. Please be careful with kitties and string!

    • @HayleyEstep
      @HayleyEstep  3 года назад

      I’m lucky enough that she hasn’t done anything with the yarn. Just sleeps on it. She’s not much of a chewed unless it’s her own toys. All of the string is taped off, no way for her to get ahold of any as well ❤️
