How do I get rid of phobia of cats?

I was having lunch with my girlfriend in Philippines at one of those “street restaurants” and this cat sat close to my chair and was staring at me, hoping for food. My girlfriend alerted me and when I looked it, I kind of jumped in panic. Yes, not afraid admit it, and it’s causing embarrassment now. It feels like I can’t enjoy life fully without getting rid of this fucking fear. How do I get rid of it?

We’re just here on holiday and back home, I work too much to have time for those phobia therapies. What do I do?

Although this is WallStreetOasis and not StreetCatGoAwaySis, I think I can be of assistance. Buy 10 cats. Set them free in your office and keep a punctured can of tuna fish on you at all times. You’ll get used to them in no time and as long as you keep them well fed and trained they shouldn’t actively jump for the tuna.

I was morning drinking on the stoop in Kyoto once. This hungry-looking little kitty comes by. For the record, I don't like cats. I just feel like they can go fuck themselves is all. But this one drew first my eye, and then my heart. I lured him with a cured meat I was saving for later when I would hopefully be drunker (I later was drunker and regretted giving my cured meat to this cat; woe.).

Bobo was surprisingly not hungry nor thirsty for being a famished street cat. I got bored of Bobo and reluctantly put on a shirt and walked to the corner store to buy more meat and soju for fear of losing my buzz. Upon my return, my wife informed me that an angry Japanese lady had busted into the house screaming about why am I feeding her cat and this and that. I was enraged and regretful that I was not there to chastise her for keeping her cat in such a famished state.

Bobo lives on in my hear for eternity. Or until I die. so maybe like 8-10 more years.
