I had to rehome my cat and I regret it so much

I had my cat for about a year and she is the sweetest, most wonderful cat ever. However, I graduated this spring and with the current job market, I had to move back in with my parents until further notice. I would have loved to bring my cat with me but my brother is allergic to cats and my parents absolutely abhor them--to the point where I am afraid if I brought her with me, they would abuse her. So instead, I found her a new, loving home.

After just a few days with her gone though, I regret it is much. I miss her a lot and cry nearly every day just thinking about her. My apartment still has her lingering scent and sometimes I pretend she's still here. She used to sleep with me every night but now my place feels so empty.

I don't know, I just feel like I could have maybe fought harder to try and keep her around. I feel like a failure because I couldn't keep her with me and I just worry that she's scared and thinks I don't love her. There is a part of me that hopes the new owner doesn't get along well with her so she'll ask me to take my cat back but I know that's a slim chance.
