So I’m 22 years old and I’m just graduating college. I’ve wanted to adopt a kitten for over a year now and have been seriously looking to adopt and get one for months. My parents, however, hate cats and hated the idea of me getting one (even though I live independently from them in my own apartment). Then a friend of mine told me about someone’s whose cats had a litter of kittens and showed me one that he was giving away and I fell in love instantly. He’s a ginger and white boy, about 3 months old. I did not tell my parents and went out to get cat supplies and picked him up. My parents were mad about the kitten but it’s not like they have to care for him so I brushed it off. However it’s been about 4 days since I got him and I’m feeling immense regret at times. And I’m not even sure why. I feel really alone and I feel like I’m not a good cat mom and I also am scared that I’ve given up some amount of my independence. Like I went out yesterday with my roommate and boyfriend leaving him alone for about 4 hours and at times when I was out I kept thinking about him hoping he was okay. I don’t know what to do. I feel guilty and incompetent and anxious, like I’ve made a huge mistake and a terrible decision by adopting him :(. Did anyone else feel this way? Any advice or words of encouragement? I really don’t wanna rehome him but I wanna do right by him.
