I'm sorry Kara Lynne. Animals are immensely intuitive animals, and I'm sure your cat is upset because you are. My dogs do the same. Well, some of them. Some are happily oblivious.
It does seem ridiculous to celebrate something just because it's common custom to do so, when there is no reality behind it. My parents celebrated their fortieth a few years ago. My son was maybe four? at the time. He asked if a fortieth anniversary was something people did when they really hated each other. Out of the mouths of babes.
There's no reason to decide right away is there? I think it's entirely fair to put your brother off a bit to weigh which alternative will cause you less grief.
I'm sorry about your ex, but honestly the more I hear about him, the more I think you should throw a big un-anniversary "whew, that was close" bash for yourself.
