I am currently fostering to adopt a cat. I’ve have been wanting a cat for some time now, and since the Coronavirus has cause us to shelter in place, I thought it would be a good time to get a cat since we will have the time to be with him for a while. He’s 2 years old and a good cat. We have had him for 5 days now and I’m having a lot of anxiety over him. I have had an anxiety attack and a break down every day since having him. I also don’t entirely feel excited now to have him in our apartment. He doesn’t have a lot of issues but at the moment the only thing that bothers me is that he’s pretty chatty when he is needy, he’s more active than I thought, and that he can be a bit mischievous.
I after reading a few forums and threads regarding anxiety of new cats, I know that it can be normal and will probably calm down after a few weeks. However, is it normal for me to almost resent his presence in my apartment? I don’t want to give up on him, but the anxiety, break downs, and resentment is making me second guess everything.
