Hello,
I've posted here before but I find i am having a lot of anxiety since i adopted my two furbabies.
On aug 1 i adopted two 12 week old kittens. I previously owed one cat who passed away in November. Right off the bat, we had diarrhea issues and this resulted in multiple vet visits over the first few weeks. This is also when my anxiety reared its ugly head. I started having panick attacks, was scared to be around them, lots of regret and feeling like a bad cat mom.
Things improved and i was starting to feel settled. Then there was a few vomitting incidents. Queue the anxiety. That didnt last as lond as the previous spell and i've been feeling prettu good...until yesterday. Kittens are now 16 weeka old. Yesterday my one cat didnt want his evening wet food (he ate wet food at breakfast and also had kibble). This morning still didnt really want it but was eating kibble. I increased the amout of probiotic in their breakfast yesterday which possibly put him off of the wet food. He also doea this thing where, when hes kind of half asleep, he will snuggle with me but meow constantly. I think hes calling for his sister as he doesnt stop until i put him in bed with her.
My anxiety is running high. I feel like im just watching them for the next thing to go wrong. I love having them. But i'm soooo tired. Kitten blues is real....but how long does it last??
Im travelling ti see my family this week and i hope this will help. The babies are staying at the pwt resort at my vets and i am looking forward to the break.
How do you deal with the kitten blues? Am i a bad cat mom?
