Not being functional enough to take care of a pet ๐
The fucking worst is when I tell someone that and they're like "I'll bet you'd rise to the occasion and it would fix you ๐" and like, fuck no. I tried, and all that resulted was a rehomed cat and a whole lot more self hatred and having to convince you that I suck as much as I do is making things so much worse.
I mean, taking a cat in and trying to take care of it, is a good thing.
The fact that you admitted you could not offer it the life you deemed good it's really responsible of you.
I have seen animals that would be better off in the streets due to owner negligence...
You could always something that needs less maintenance, like fish where the process is pretty much automated after the initial set up...
Or a hard to kill plant. :)
