They're a bonded pair of 1 year old cats, a boy and a girl. My last cat passed away about 7 months ago and I haven't had a pet since. I am now living on my own. I really like these cats but I am terrified of the long-term commitment. But I have always wanted to get another cat and I jumped on the chance to adopt these animals. My mom doesn't like the cats and has been trying to talk me out of adopting them, saying I'm getting desperate.
I have no real reason to think I'm making the wrong choice, though. I have low self-esteem and am prone to second-guessing myself. I also struggle with anxiety and depression. I've made many large life decisions that I deeply regret, so I'm afraid that I might make a mistake with the cats I adopt. The cats let me pet them when I met them at the shelter. I am sure it will be fine. But I'm just terrified of this huge change, despite wanting to adopt a cat for months.
