can cats have adhd or is mine just freelancing reality

i googled “can cats have adhd” because my cat just:

sprinted down the hallway for no visible reason

forgot why he entered the room

stared directly at the wall like it insulted him

knocked over a glass and seemed surprised by gravity

initiated physical contact and then acted betrayed

i’m not saying he needs a diagnosis. i’m just saying if “3am parkour followed by buffering” is a symptom, we should talk.

anyway he’s currently sitting perfectly still like none of that happened so i assume he’s gaslighting me.

i take prescription focus so i can send a two-word reply without drafting it in my notes app

i medicate so i can remember why i opened the fridge and then act on it immediately

i pop a stimulant just to hit “start” on the laundry like it’s a launch sequence

ADHD affects how I experience time, not how I experience attachment. I love you. I miss you. I just don't realize how long it’s been since I last said that, let alone messaged.

I understand that most normal functioning brains need regular engagement to maintain a bond. Absence doesn’t diminish my affection. My silence isn’t neglect or disinterest. It’s time blindness and object impermanence. The contact gap is purely neurological, not emotional. Thank you for being patient with my inconsistency and holding a seat in your heart for me.
