Re: Screaming inside

You've done so well @Neillka and Pepa sounds an amazing cat. Panic attacks must be hard to deal with. My cat is a good companion but I get anxious taking him to the vet (I don't drive). He needs regular treatment.

Do you have any mh supports like a gp or psychologist? The forums here are a safe space too, and very accepting. You can say as much or as little as you want.
