You are so right. They’re just temporary. Thoughts and feelings.
Some thoughts can make you feel bad, and some feelings can make you think bad. It’s really nice when our own inner voice helps straighten us out during those periods of processing.
I am guessing you very recently got contact lenses. Between yourself and the cat you’ll be a pro at dealing with eyes in no time.
Wrapping the cat up in a towel is a really good idea. Such an simple elegant solution, those are the best ones. I would’ve been scratched head to toe and still probably not thought of that. It’s going in the memory banks.
Hope you have a wonderful day.

Feelings are fleeting. Be better, not bitter. Love the person, forgive the sin.
