I've been wanting a cat for a few months now and finally adopted one yesterday from the local animal shelter. She is so adorable, cuddly, and kind. I wanted a pet to have as a companion. I chose her because she came up to me and was already so snuggly and stood out from the others.
I've never had a cat before by myself, (had pets growing up), and I just feel this urge of sadness (for the animals I left behind and not choosing the one who was the oldest one (whose been there since mid-October).
Don't get me wrong, I love my new cat so much, I sometimes get this loving, excited, nervous feeling I can't explain.
I guess I'm just sad because of all the others I left behind. I've been bawling my eyes out for the past 15 or so minutes because I didn't get them too.
I mostly feel nervous, for some reason lonely,(with butterflies and a link in my throat) in regards to keeping the cat happy and if I'm doing enough for her. I'm going to try putting on a movie or show on repeat that she enjoys when I'm not here at the house she can watch and not consistently cry. She does not like being along (guessing that is because she was in a cage with other cats).
My landlord and a majority of my housemates love her already due to her kindness, and I'm happy they like her.
I don't know why, I just feel lonely, like I'm the only one out there doing this new pet thing.
TLDR: Got a new cat yesterday, nervous, and feel like I made a mistake.
