Feeling anxious and depressed over adopting my furry friend.

I just adopted a cat and he is awesome. He is 2 years old and it’s been about 4 days since he’s come home.

So far he eats and drinks water plenty, he trills and meows and uses his litterbox with ease. He LOVES his worm toy. He does like to hide in certain parts and isn’t too crazy about sleeping near me, but I don’t mind. I know he is still building trust with me.

However, I can’t shake this overwhelming feeling of regret and pure anxiety about getting him. This is my first time with a pet on my own and it’s really thrown me for a loop. I am worried I won’t give him a satisfying full life and that I should just give him back to the shelter, but that would absolutely kill me to do… I left him home today for the first time and cried like a baby to my mom because I felt like he is going to be bored or upset I left him. A second cat is not a option right now, like at all so.. I guess I just need reassurance that what I am doing is the right choice. I’m terrified. Anyone else felt this way before?
