Do you think im over-reacting with my cat?

no i don'tt think ur over reacting at all u were attached to ur cat. ur cat is so cute i know what its like to loose somevery special to you if u look at the pic by my screen name that would be my little boy that died. i still cant get over him. if i were u i wouldnt leave ur cat anywhere i would be scared to death too. i still have night mares about my cat who was about a year old in human yrs. u think ur cat is still with u and then u come into reality and hes gone and all u can do is morn over ur baby. if u really love ur cat i suggest u keep him inside with u who cares what ur family says, that is ur baby give ur kitty all the lovin u can and dont let it out side and the same thing might happen again as it has happend to ur beautiful cat. so i suggest u keep ur kitty inside away from danger cause if it has happened once theres a 50% chance it will happen again so please take my advice and keep ur new baby inside away from danger. just get a small water bottle and spray ur kitty when ur kitty is acting up and tearing things up after several time of doing that ur kitty will adventually stop. and if u have anything that u think ur kitty will get into or tear up get a cobard or something that he can not get into. but just keep takeing that water bottle and spraying up dont get him soaked but spray him once each time and adventually he'll get the picture and stop and i think it would be fine if u gave ur kitty a bath once every two weeks or every week that totaly up to u. i hope i have helped gl with ur kitty and ur family take care and if u ever need to talk u can email me at rebblecats1985@aol.com have a good night
