I adopted two three-month-old kittens just two days ago. It was an impulsive decision and now, even though I hate to say it, I regret it. They are such amazing and cute kitties but having two cats here is very overwhelming for me. They run around and make alot of noise and it's alot for me because I have ADHD and I can't handle sensory overloads (too much noise). And they constantly try to climb on the dining table which is off limits for them.
But the biggest problem is that they bother me at night. I usually go to bed at around 11-12pm, when the kittens start to get tired. But as soon as I get off the couch and into my bed, the kittens suddenly have loads of energy again and they run around. It takes me a while before I can get them to settle down one way or another and I manage to get some shuteye. But it's very tiring. I should play with them during the day so they would sleep at night but I'm too tired to play with them. I just throw toys at them and they also play together (they play fight together constantly).
I believe I can raise the kittens and keep them here but how do I handle with all this? I certainly knew what I was getting into when I got the kittens but I didn't know it would be THIS much. All I want to do now is cry. I feel so bad about everything.
