What do you do when your cat suddenly won’t eat… and your mind immediately goes to the worst-case scenario?

In this honest and emotional diary entry, I share a moment many cat moms know all too well—the fear that rises when something feels off with our little ones. But beneath the surface, this Diary of a Cat Mom podcast episode is about something deeper: learning to stay present, regulate your nervous system, and not let past pain control the present moment.

•  How past experiences shape your reactions as a cat mom
