A little disappointed in online adopting

This is just a little vent. I love my two kitties. I adopted them online in December and January. They are 11 and 9 months old. I didn't meet them before adopting.

They are great and sweet and they ended up loving each other and bonding. But sometimes I'm disappointed. One of them will sometimes seek me out for affection but the other doesn't. They both seem to like my boyfriend more than me. And yet I'm the one that pays for everything, does all the vet visits, feeding, litterbox, medication....

I am writing this because I keep seeing someone I follow on Instagram holding their cat, petting their cat on the belly while he lay in her lap, and just generally having a great bond. Sometimes I wish I waited until covid was over so that I could have gone to the shelter and adopted an adult cat with a set personality.

I also feel kind of guilty for feeling this way because I do really love my cats, and they follow me a lot of the time so I know they love me too. Just sometimes I feel that the grass is greener elsewhere, and I get resentful of all the work I put in, only to be #2.
