Keeping your running form focused on the hips/core and NOT the feet is what enables people to run injury free. Worrying about footstrike contributes to plantar fasciitis and other maladies like Achilles tendon strain. It's awesome you've found a shoe that you seem to like in the wildcat. If they work, stick with them. Zero drop is garbage. Also, check with a PT and see if a quality insole like the green superfeet might be of benefit.
Best of luck to you!
