Is it normal to be worried about your cat?

All the time, if my cat isn't upstairs or somewhere in sight, I freak out. If she's outside when rain or thunderstorm is in the forecast, I run to get her. She's 11 years old, and she sure is gettig old. I worry about her all the time and think about her dying. Usually people won't do this. Is this normal?

    We care about cats. Cats care about food

    My kitty is 18. Will be 19 in April. I will stare at her while she is sleeping to make sure she is breathing. My other cat is almost 9. He is the one that hides. I can't go to sleep until I can find him.

    I know completely what you mean.

    When I can't find my cat in the house (indoor cat) I freak out and make everyone look for her.

    I worry about my cat.
    people treat their animals like children
    maybe you're playing mommy for your kitty?
