what to do about a specific situation

// gross warning


alright so im germaphobic. there's pets in the apartment, and i dont function too well with it. i'm kind of miserable after living in this apartment for a while but i guess that's not the point. the point is, i saw the cat in the litterbox but then she proceeded to rub her butt on the floor. how am i supposed to fix this? my family has a carpet cleaner but i don't know how to use it

Is there someone you can ask to show you how to use the carpet cleaner/vacuum?

Thank you for taking the time to share your feelings. I am sorry that this situation is causing stress. I hope that I can ease your mind a bit. You know in the past 2 years we have all become a bit more sensitive to germs. I too feel grossed out by more germs than I had in the past. Have you shared your concerns with your family so that they may understand what you are going through?


There may not be a situation where you can change your environment. Maybe exploring some coping techniques that put you at ease. If you are in an environment that triggers stress can you take a breath and say the favorite place that brings you happiness. Like SPAAAAAAA
