I think when it comes down to things, I really got my confidence as a cat owner shaken up because Elwood's accidents triggered the thought of failing as a cat owner. I really do love Elwood, but I worry I am not doing enough for him.

I worry about being gone all the time, but my hours at former work were long, and I spent hours and hours studying with Elwood as a kitten being in a separate room, and even with Evy I never worried about how long I was gone without her.

Elwood is no longer getting into so much mischief that he needs constant supervision, but I worry about him having more accidents because of a change in hours or routine.

I do love him a lot but I just don't know how to overcome the worrying because he is really happy right now and doing so much better. It isn't because of Elwood that I want to give him away, I am overwhelmed with all my responsibilities and worry I'm not doing enough for him.
