I didn't expect my cat to really understand/care about what I was doing when I was self harming, but he got upset and meowed + pawed at me to stop me. Even though I feel guilty about it I'm very grateful he did that since I haven't self harmed since. I love him so much.

Do you have a punching bag?

I don't have anything like that, but thinking about my cat has helped me avoid doing it so far.

That's probably even better, at least as long as it lasts and the guilt doesn't make things worse.

It might be good to try to put a few alternatives to cutting in place, combined with your cat's care.

Why I recommend a punching bag is that you do get to hurt yourself to an extent, but it's limited and controlled. It's also a pretty handy skill to have, just in case.
