My family member's cat likes to bring presents sometimes, and he managed to shove it in a corner right next to the back door where I barely noticed the thing. So I had to awkwardly shovel out a maggot-infested rat...
I know it's insanely irrational, and that same cat has been trodding through the house since he would've killed the thing, but having to get rid of it was very nerve-wracking for me, and I'm insanely horrified that I could catch some strange disease from the flies that were around it (especially if they managed to get into the house when I went out there), or just from breathing near it... Especially 'cause it stunk, obviously. As soon as I got inside, I took a very thorough shower, then started disinfecting the floors because that's where the cat walks, and that's where I'd been walking after dealing with it... I also used whatever can of bug spray I could find on the whole outside corner to try and kill any extra gross critters that may have been there...
I've been really wishing that I could just disinfect the cat.
I know it's completely irrational, and that people get rid of dead animals all the time, but I just hate having to deal with it myself because I have such a phobia of, I guess, unknown diseases.
I don't really expect any response to this, I just feel like it'll calm me a little if I post this here in the off chance someone can relate...
