Hi ,
We collected our kitten at the weekend after thinking it through for many months. I have grown up with cats, I love animals, but this is the first time I’ve been responsible for properly owning a pet! It’s the first time my partners ever had a pet so we thought it through a lot. Maybe even overthought it!
We collected our kitten at the weekend and he is lovely... but I didn’t realise how full on it would be I don’t think and now I feel awful.. what if we have made a massive mistake.. he is 5 months old and super friendly.. but this morning he was awake at 5.30am crying really loudly in his room, I waited until 6.30 to go and give him breakfast because I thought it’s best to react straight away because I don’t want him to get into the routine of crying really early every morning.. I thought once he’d had some breakfast, litter tray changed etc he would be fine but he continued to cry for 3 hours until i had to leave for work, I held him or played with him... I feel awful because I don’t want him to be sad, I’m at work imagining he’s still at home crying but also I don’t want our lives to massively change.. and that sounds awful but I mean I feel I can’t get anything done at home atm because he is taking all my attention! He is such a lovely kitten I feel awful for having these doubts. What if we have made a big mistake. Is it normal to have these doubts?! Is it normal for him to take a little while to settle in then will he settle down?
