Oh, I’m so, so sorry for what you’re going through. A nightmare.
That is the primitive brain. It’s trying to keep you safe. It doesn’t want you to hurt because that would mean expending energy and not being able to run from lions on the veldt. It’s unreasonable and relentless and so well meaning and so wrong.
Please adopt more cats. You are the perfect pet parent. This post made me cry because I could feel your love for Ruby in it.
Thank you for your honesty and for writing this for all of us.
PS.S. My cat was supposed to have his teeth cleaned and I was so wary of it and now I will be doubly wary of it.
Oh, Kate. I am so sorry. You are a wonderful pet parent and none of this is fair — but your kitties have all been so lucky to have you. Please give Partner an extra scritch from me.
Kate, your soulfulness and love for your feline family members is illuminating. It has made me feel very appreciative of my own two feline roommates. I wish that I and my clutter could absorb some of your grief.
Kate I’m so sorry. I’m no stranger to this exact kind of OCD — it’s a constant background noise that can be overwhelming. And even more cruel that our worst fears and realities can overlap. All your cats have been lucky to land you, and live fully loved lives.

So sorry, Kate. Such a big loss and a big weight to carry. I'll keep Ruby and Partner and you in my thoughts.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Kate. This is devastating and horrible, and I'm so sorry this happened to you.

I’m so sorry for your loss, she was beautiful
