I adopted this cat around one week ago and he was doing so well during the first three days, I was so confident that everything was going to be ok. And then a few days ago I found a few fleas, 1 red patch near his ear, and then he was sneezing like mad + grooming/gnawing at his paw like crazy. I just took him to the vet and I'm 90% sure he cried along the way bc he kept meowing.. When I tried to give him a treat right before the vet, he got out of the carrier in the car and my sis+I had to put him back in forcefully. I felt so so so so bad during and after the vet visit (I got meds for all the signs the boyo was showing)....
Just a few hours ago I gave him (liquid) meds for his sneezing and he really wasn't having it lol. He hid under my work table and then I saw tears in his eyes and then I thought "oh god what have I done, why did I get a cat..." He went to nap right after I administered the meds but then I started crying (still am haha) because I feel like I wasn't ready enough to get a cat... This poor boy really deserves a better owner and I'm afraid I might have made a mistake adopting him?? 😔 Is this just cold feet and anxiety??
Before all of this happened, there was a moment when I woke up from my sleep and he was purring right next to me, licking my head and I thought all was going to be OK.. I fell in love with him so quickly when I first saw him that I'm afraid I might be in over my head... If I could get some insight from you all... please... help haha.
