Hello!
I’m a first time pet owner and a third year college student. I’ve always loved cats but I’ve never been able to have one. Recently my family talked about it and decided I could get a cat to live with me in my apartment. I spent some time looking and read a ton of articles and journals about how to care for a new cat and finally settled on a 10 weeks old black kitten who I named Loki.
Getting the kitten meant I had to move back to my apartment and away from my family and while I only got him yesterday I already feel sad and lonely. I miss my family and I want to be with them again but being with them means I would have to give up Loki.
He’s a sweet kitty although he’s super energetic which can be a little exhausting. He sleeps with me at night and licks my face before bed. He’s really adorable and I love him lots but I really miss my family and I want to go home. I’m also really stressed as I’ve never had to take care of anything like a kitten before and he takes a lot of work. It’s not the work I’m scared of though it is exhausting, it’s the separation from my family I’m really loathing. I’ve spent a couple years in college away from them but the pandemic allowed me to move back home and it was really hard to leave this time.
I know eventually I’d have to move back to my apartment but I’m just wondering if I should return Loki and get a kitten or cat later when I can emotionally handle being separated from my family.
Please don’t hate me I feel awful. I love this kitten and he’s awesome but I have some anxiety issues and I just started having a good relationship with my family.
