Hello!
I recently adopted my seven year-old Wali. He's been amazing and is transitioning to my home really well.
When I have to leave the house, I confine him to my bedroom/bathroom (his safe areas). He has a cat tree and scratchy post for entertainment, but mostly he naps all day and seems perfectly happy with this arrangement.
My issue: I'm currently experiencing some pretty severe separation anxiety when it comes to leaving him alone! I haven't left the house in several days now (I work from home!) because I just don't want to leave him alone. Even though he spends most of the day napping!!! He's blind, so I worry more about him.
Is this kind of separation anxiety normal after adoption? I have to leave the house today to, you know, get groceries and stuff... But I'm freaking out about leaving Wali on his own for a couple hours...
