Thanks for the follow up! I'm so glad to hear it worked out with you and your cat.
Your description sounds exactly like me. I'm also on medication for anxiety and depression, I have been for a long time. I do not do well with major life changes, and i had a bunch all in a row just now. I had my first cat Lily for 11 years and she moved with me from place to place and was always a constant. I just bought a house and between the time that I went under contract on the home and when I moved, she had to be put to sleep after a long battle with kidney disease. It was absolutely heartbreaking to know she wouldn't be coming with me to the new home. She passed on April 7th, I made the biggest purchase of my life and moved on May 31st, and I brought my two new babies, Poppy and Violet, home on June 9th. I think I was already just barely keeping my sanity together after the move, so the new cats threw my anxiety into overdrive.
I'm feeling better reading these replies, because I was feeling like the WORST cat mom in the world for not being totally in love and attached to them yet. But I guess that's to be expected - I met them once for a few minutes about 3 weeks ago to choose them, and then they came home the other day. We barely know each other, whereas my bond with my Lily grew over 11 years and we were inseparable.
Thank you both so much for your support.
