Saddness

My boyfriend and I just moved away from each other but I kept all 5 cats. He wants them but I cant let go since I have anxiety and especially separation anxiety and I know they are happy where they are.

Hmmm.. its very simple.. U gotta think of people who havegot serious illnesses and amongst them there people who cant be cured or saved from their sickness, but thank God for u have got and are in a right sense to approach for ur problem, i could see optimism in ur attitude and so u have the ability to overcome any kind of situation, So the ball is in ur court and u could decide what u should do..
Send off those cats and fight ur anxiety and succeed or have a smooth conversation with ut BF and explain ur situation but dont do a baby cry. accept whatever u get..

Lotsa things happening around other than ur problems. watch out for them.. U could make it.. Good luck :)

If you want to keep the cats because you love them and want them, fine. Don't keep them for the wrong reasons.  But I'm sure he cares about them as well, and maybe you could allow 2 or 3 to go with him. It's not fair to keep all of them.  They will not cure your problems, you need to seek professional help with this.  It's always hard for all of us to let things we love go, but it's all part of life, and it may be a big step in helping you to learn how to do this. You don't want to be selfish about this, they were his cats too.  Take care.

Share the kitties. You dont need 5 cats. Between the litter boxes, the vet bills, the hair , and who can give the needed one on one attention to 5 cats. You can visit them. I have one cat and cannot imagine having to care for 5! I could make sweaters!
