Constant Worry

I am forever fretting over my cat. I love her to death but it always freaks me out whenever I see a scab or some scratch on her body. When she gets runny poops, I stress about her all day/night. I'm loving on her as much as possible and enjoying all the time I have with her and her vet visits have been positive and she's always tested negative for any parasites and such a but honestly, does the incessant worrying ever go away?

I don't mean to sound like I'm annoyed that I worry over her, I definitely am NOT, but I just adore her so much. It almost makes me feel like I'm failing to properly care for her because I see so many other Sphynx mom/dad's on insta and Reddit and their babies seem to be so healthy and happy. I try SO HARD to make sure she's eating well and active and hydrating and it still makes me feel like absolute dirt when I see that she's got runny stool/some sort of new bruise or rash or skin irritation. 😩😔

It just seemed to appear overnight, have no clue what could have happened. Also sent a pic to the vet, just wanting to ease my mind a little bit.

Edit: thank you all so much for easing this extremely worrisome mama. I sincerely hope you all have the best life! 🖤😭
