2 days ago while i was taking out the trash at the corner of my eye i saw what appeared to be a skunk (because where i live my neighborhood has a bit of a problem with skunks but not that many luckily) then i jumped back, got scared and screamed but it wasnt a skunk.
It was a really cute tuxedo kitten that approached me :3
And i also felt bad because the kitten looked sad and lonely but i couldnt bring her into my house because
1. I have a puppy and i was scared that she would hurt the kitten (because her teeth and nails HURT and shes only 4 months old).
2. My dad probably wouldnt approve of another pet in the house considering how much of a pain a 4 month old mutt gives us.
3. Also my dad said that im allergic to cats but idk if its true or not because i remember i saw a orange cat at a pet shop once and the owner let me pet it and i didnt have any allergic reactions idk i think its a lie because before getting a puppy i asked him about wanting to have a cat before.
4. The kitten might have already have a owner but idk i dont remember seeing a collar on it to confirm because it was too dark (also why would you let your kitten be outside at night?).
And 5. I was scared that it might have some sort of disease that could be contagious to a human (no joke if i get 1 tummy ache im already on a coma).
So yeah with without any options i went inside and as i was entering my home i looked back and i saw the kitten sitting staring at me looking sad and i genuinely felt bad for it i really wanted to cry which i eventually did later why didnt i bring it with her? Couldnt i atleast convince my dad to keep it? or atleast take care of it and eventually give it out to a pet adoption center or someone i know? Look i know this isnt my fault but i feel like a asshole for not doing anything about it literally feeling like the worst human being right now.
I even came back later to see if the kitten was still near but the kitten was long gone god i FUCKING hate myself for letting this happen im only imagining what bad things the poor kitten is experiencing right now without proper care from a owner or a mother cat.
Im sorry that you're reading this but i hate when i see animals in these conditions one thing that Fluttershy from mlp taught me is to always take care of animals when they are in these conditions and i didnt and thats why im regretting my life decisions during that day im sorry i talked too much here sorry im at the verge of almost crying again :(
