Been a part of the ash community, til that died out and came across this website in the past few weeks. It's a relief to have a space like this. Thank you! Decided to make an account instead of lurking. No plans to ctb yet, I live for my cat and I can't imagine leaving him behind. I know it's a little reason but that's alright for now. Anyone else have thoughts/ experience with guilt over pets being left behind? Or experience with pets making you want to hang around a while longer? Sorry if I posted this in the wrong place, maybe it should have gone in off topic, still learning.

Animals pick up on so much huh, really my cat is so in tune with how I am doing. Are yours the same? Genuinely my cat wouldn't live much longer if I ctb, I rescued him and he only knows me, he's scared of everyone else due to his past. When I've had to leave him previous due to reasons out of my control he doesn't look after himself, doesn't eat or groom. It's like his world goes on pause til I come home, and it breaks my heart the idea of him waiting for me forever. He's helped me and saved me so much I feel I owe him right now.

Thanks for helping me think things through. I also have a dog and I think I could get him looked after by a relative eventually. But my cat just lives for me, similarly as I do for him.

Also the dog and cat are best friends. That's cute as hell right!

It's what I'm trying to keep in focus right now. But yeah, at least here is a place to talk about it. Home feels like an echo chamber

Well, at least not a goodbye post. For the same reason I dont have any pets cause I dont want to leave them if I die.

That's really nice of you to think of them. I adopted mine 6 years ago. I guess even though I felt similarly then as I do now, I've built this bond that's hard to break. It has stressed me out in the past, made me feel trapped here- alive, and when I look at my life logically, the things I've chosen to live through, just for the responsibility I feel towards my pets, really doesn't make sense.

I'm a long time lurker/recent member too, so Hi back at you :)

I have no plans to cbt because I have too many responsibilities, I live for my babies and my pug ❤

I'm a huge advocate for pro-choice however and I believe that this forum is an asset to the internet.

Love to all

I echo this sentiment. Also have a soft spot for pugs, I actually painted one a while back which is a big deal for me as I barely do any activities anymore, maybe one piece of artwork every 3 years.

Interesting to see how many people feel like this. I hadn't seen it spoken much about on here before.
