7 months ago I adopted my first cat, and 3 months ago I adopted the second. the second kitty turned out to be a very, very anxious and territorial kitty, but she was incredibly snuggly and affectionate and just an absolute mellow joy in her calmer moments. She would lay against my back at night or climb on top of me and sleep half on me, half on the bed every night. Because of her anxiety and increasing territorial aggression towards my other cat, and anti-anxiety meds + reintroduction just not helping the situation, I had to bring her back to the shelter today. She would likely be happier as the only cat in a household and unfortunately I can't provide that. I'm also moving in a couple months and I didn't think taking her on a long plane ride will be good for anxiety. I feel terrible to uproot her again so soon after she'd just gotten comfortable; when I got to the shelter she was crying and pacing, clearly anxious and confused. I miss her snuggles already and feel like I've thrown away a dear friend even though I know it was the right decision. I didn't think it'd be this hard to let go.
