Being a perfectionist once felt like part of who I was.
Living with cats slowly showed me how little control I actually have—and how freeing that can be.
In this episode, I reflect on expectations, frustration, and the gentle work of becoming softer with myself as a cat mom.
In This Episode
Learning how cats challenge control
Noticing where pressure turns inward
Letting “doing my best” be enough

Diary of a Cat Mom is a quiet, personal podcast created by Dagmar Gatell, sharing real moments, emotions, and experiences from life with cats.
This space is meant for connection, comfort, and companionship. Everything shared comes from lived experience as a cat mom and is not intended as professional veterinary advice. Every cat is unique, and for health concerns, it’s always best to consult your trusted veterinarian.
