same, but two years later. did you find any answers? i have a dog who just recently delivered puppies. a few days ago the pups were making a bunch of noise and i was so pissed cause i was working from home i had the urge to hit those poor pups. luckily i didnt, but before my dog was pregnant id hit her. right after taking out my anger on her she'd immediately forgive me. now i have a new kitten, she helped me a lot in the beginning with my depression but now i started hitting her just like i did with my dog. i cant handle myself properly and im not sure how to fix this. i hope you found the right answers for yourself. i really dont want to give my pets away i love and adore them but i just dont want to hurt them. ive also been thinking that maybe this is also just a human instinct just like how it is with cats. cats have an instinct to hit or bite when they get annoyed, just like how we are. i dont know honestly. it makes me sick of telling someone i personally know since theyd probably tell me to go to a therapist or the damn shrink. i dont want any of those fancy addicting meds.
Is it normal I have the urge to hit my pets?
