I Can't Stop Hoarding Cat Toys

So, my name is Emily and I'm a middle sibling in this family, sandwiched between an older sister who's super responsible and a younger brother who's still learning to talk. Our house feels like it's constantly shifting under our feet with all the changes we go through as we grow up. But there's one thing that never changes: my love for cat toys. I'm pretty sure I've got more catnip mice and scratching posts than any two-person household should have. It started when I found out about a new flavor of kitty treats, and now it feels like I can't resist adding to the collection every time I pass by a pet store or scroll through my social media feed. My room is practically drowning in stuffed animals designed for cats who will never know how much they're loved. I try not to let anyone else know about this obsession because, let's face it, it sounds kind of silly. I've tried talking myself out of buying new toys every weekend and even attempted to donate some, but the guilt hits me like a ton of bricks after just one day without them. So here I am, admitting my embarrassing secret that no one knows about... yet.
