I got an emotional support cat recently after almost a year of debating it. My therapist actually pushed me to get him since I had already procrastinated for a year and missed multiple kitten seasons already. I have anxiety and depression.
Problem is, I feel like I am getting too attached to him. I spend a lot of time online searching up information on cats, worrying if my kitten has some health condition. I am buying him too much stuff almost every other day. I spend time on chewy searching for new food, toys I could get him. I am trying to train him with some treats as well He sometimes gets a little aggressive so I was considering getting him a sister from the same shelter. But suddenly I felt like I will be betraying him and he will feel jealous/sad which is stupid cause he will most likely love having another cat around.
Is this weird behavior? I also get very jealous if he shows trust to other humans (which he does almost instantly). Like I want him to love me the most. My sister comes to visit me pretty often and I get worried he will bond with her and like her more than me so I limit their interactions. But rationally thinking I feel like this is very weird and it might be better for him to live with my sister instead.
