That cat probably can't even remember what happened. They're more focused on hunting mice or eating food and sleeping. Obviously it's wrong to do that to animals but you won't do it again so it's fine. Probably scared the cat in the moment but the only one suffering from post traumatic stress is you. Forgive yourself, you gotta live with yourself for eternity. God forgives all who seek forgiveness. Even the worst of people and there are people out there who have done far sicker things than this one mistake of yours.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. “I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions, for my own sake, and remembers your sins no more. Listen dear..every and each one of us has a secret story than no one knows about that might be way way worse and more bothering than yours.. david the prophet and the one who was selected by god to be the king of Israel ..he sinned! He killed! But when he felt bad about it and asked for forgiveness he returned the great king of Israel Please don’t ever feel down or less than anyone because everyone has his own terrible secret mistakes and because you are good/better than anyone in the eyes of god May god help you to overcome your thoughts...please forgive your delf as god forgives you an god will always forgive no matter what anyone have done I love you

Hey, everyone makes mistakes. Yours might have been a bad one, but it's still a mistake. You regret it! That's good. And God forgave you before you even did it, because He loves you and doesn't want you to be hurt. Forgive yourself, learn from everything - and whatever you do, don't obsess about it!!

I guess it's human nature to act impulsively and kinda stupid at some times. God loves ppl who redeem themselves, it's how he tests our faith in him. If we as humans are capable of forgiving you, I'm sure god the most merciful is too. And so should you! free your soul from this burden.

Also when i made this mistake i was quite young and had no idea it would put me in such a bad mindset in the future. I didn't know there was a thing called beastiality or anything like that. Later when i found out about what it was called and stuff, i got really scared bc doing something like that is illegal in most states and i was so young that i didn't know about the consequences.

I definitely relate to this in different ways, something that’s helped me get through it is reminding myself (which I’m actually doing right now since I’m thinking about it) is that we’re meant to learn from our experiences and test our boundaries- even the ones that are the most difficult to cope with, and I truly believe that G-d understands that

This happens when we are kids, we don't know if something we did is bad, just like you said we havent no idea about it

I've been hyperfixated on worrying about abuse and harm to my cats, and as a result i spiraled into some bad compulsions, and I know I'm a bad person for that. I feel horrible. Some time ago my male cat went to sniff my other female's cat bum and i know it's normal but i instantly reacted and bumped by hand to his face and I believe I accidentally used a bit too force. I got scared that I did it too hard. And I felt the urge to replicate the same move to check that it didnt hurt him and i shouldn't have done it I should have ignored the call of uncertainty, and I bumped my dorsal part of the hand on his face repeatedly to check any sign, i was replicating similar "force" to make sure I didn't hurt him going one slight step above of a gentle tap. It was like a slight stiffer tap, but not hard, but still stiff... Like I would feel the compulsive urge to try to bump my hand slightly harder to his face and that would make me feel horrible and wanting me to check it again... My cat wasn't hurt, but I think he had a confused face, my brain is telling me that he ran away and that he had a hurt face, the first thing i dont think so and the latter I believe it. I felt so guilty I thought I was an abuser. And I checked the same thing on my other female cat but she was just annoyed, she didnt feel hurt. This has been on my mind for a long time and I've been obsessing abt. Just now I compulsively tested "abuse" on my cat. i started tapping on her head lightly with my fingers. it didnt hurt her, she didnt react at all, but the first time she lowered her ears but not in a hurt way more like she was a bit annoyed by my antics, or i think it's just the nervous area because cats generally lower their ears when someone touches their head. I started tapping from her back like people do to their cats because the cats enjoy it and i used the same "energy" and slowly went to her head to see if it hurt her. and a medium tap (not hard) that didnt hurt her triggered me a lot, felt like i had done already something that was too hard. and i spiraled and kept doing the same thing to see if it hurt her. like if i do it to myself it doesnt hurt at all. and my cat didnt react at all she didnt move an inch and didnt even meow. she didnt care. i increased the power a slightly to hear more the sound of the tap and I got increasingly worried. but i kept tapping her too much. i couldn't stop. i had to check continuously that the tap before didnt sound as harsh like it did. like she didnt flinch or hiss or move at all. her ears lowered a bit probably because it was unpleasant. i would try to go above one slight step above gently tapping to see what would happened because i couldn't stand uncertainty and i couldn't believe that it could hurt her. it was never hard, but the medium taps felt abuse. when my cat headbutts she uses more strenght than i used to tap her head... to describe the tap it would be like similar to when your friend taps your shoulder to say "good job" or to encourage you. probably a bit less then that...

Last night when I was laying in bed, I was just thinking about my religion. I’m a Christian and for some reason, I said a bad word in my mind about God I’m not gonna type the word on here. I can barely even say it. I just don’t understand why I thought that And I prayed for forgiveness sometimes I feel guilty. Sometimes I don’t. I don’t understand why I said that I know it’s not true. I know I don’t mean it, but what if I did what if God is going to punish me now for that thought I know we’re human and we make mistakes but I just can’t forgive myself for this. I haven’t been able to think about anything else. I’ve been miserable since this happened. I’m just so done and I don’t know what else I can do.

So, alot has changed. I'm Christian and currently believe we are in the end of times. It's changed my whole perspective on life. I quit my job and moved back in with family, starting to go to church, apologized to those I hurt except, one person who I talked to two family members and they told me to delete the message and with my other apology ( that i also believed was God telling me to confess in 2020) i lied at some parts because of shame and confusing myself most likely intentionally. I confessed everything to my dad and he says since i turned from it, repented, that i need to let it go and continue forward. Since then, my minds been saying that I'm outside of God's will and everything's gone down hill. I had also prayed that God exposed me and now it's like all this evil and wickedness that feels like it's coming out of my heart settles into my chest. I've prayed to God, worshipped to God, but thoughts and images of being sent to hell or my loved ones pops into my head and I've gone to sleep twice each night accepting the fact that because of me not doing so may have doomed me and my loved ones and I feel scared that I got so tired and stopped fighting it. I've had ocd since I was 7 but it just is so scary because it's hitting down to the wire and I'm scared that I was never a child of God at all I mean I have iniquity I thought I repented for but people I love still struggle with what I've done and I prayed for them and tried to help them and suggest therapy but I haven't did what I could to make it right like I should've. But these images and thoughts they're horrible. I feel like I'm against God truly and I'm like Lord change the circumstances and I won't resist so that I can preach Your word and everyday I feel like I'm gambling. It's like every thought is biblical for the most part. I don't want to kill myself cuz what if I have a chance that God will have mercy on me but....
