It has always been my dream to have a cat since I was a kid. I recently finished studies and I finally had permission to bring a cat home. Everything happened so suddenly actually as a friend of mine wanted to give his kitten all of a sudden suddenly and I decided to take him.
It has been almost 3 days since I adopted this 8 weeks lovely kitten. I was/am overjoyed about having him, but I am also so confused on the fact that I am irritated, stressed, anxious all the time since I got the kitten home.
This past day was so hectic as he was so clingy to me. I have been the only child home for years so I am not sure if this made things worse for me, I am not acting as myself these past days, I am drained out of energy, irritated, sad, worried all the time about him and feel like crying all the time. Adding to all those things, I feel so bad that I am doubting my decision after I have been dying to have a cat for around 10 years.
I just love cats too much, but now I feel like I am neglecting my mental and physical health over worrying about my new kitten. i over check on him when he eats, plays, meows, sleep..etc and it is axuausting me and i feel irritated all the time (note that i am originally not a so patient person). He meows if i leave him for a moment, my sleep schedual is a miss as we have differnt sleep pattern and i am someone who plans their days and like things to be done according to it but now everything is a mess and i am not able to do my work as usual.
He likes playing and getting petted and all and he is so adorable, so I want to be a good owner for him but I feel so mentally weak and confused.
Can anyone relate? Any advice please? I hope I got to describe well how I am feeling in this post :(
