an inorganic idiom

"killing the cat before you get to the vet"

to have a negative outlook that hampers one's potential enjoyment of a situation

EXAMPLE: I know you're dreading hanging out with those socially inept friends of yours from out-of-town, but you can't kill the cat before you get to the vet. You might actually appreciate their quirkiness.
