Is it normal to love her...
We've been together for 18 years, she's my first and last thought of the day, she's my world but is it normal to love your cat? I don't just mean love, I actually think I'm in love with her. If I could I'd actually marry her, not for anything sexual (although she is STUNNING) but purely because I love her.
I wouldn't be worried about it but I've noticed as I'm getting older it's starting to affect my life, I've split up with boyfriends over her, the other day I had to kick my friend out the house because she's allergic to my cat and she started sneezing; this distressed the cat so she had to go. Also I'm starting to get depressed as the cat is now 18 and getting very old, I literally don't know if I can manage life without her.
My phone background is of her, all of my facebook pictures are of her, I've got a tattoo of her name and a tattoo of her exact paw print on the back of my neck. I even changed my name to have her name as my middle name.
I don't know if this is the norm or is it verging on strange? I don't want her to rule my life but I fear she already is, I've stopped going out in the week incase she misses me too much, advice?
