Ever since my mom put our oldest cat to sleep I've been missing 2 cats in our house. My other, Matty, is about 12 years old now, she doesn't do much but lay about eat and thats it. I dont quite remember much about when she was a kitten, but it seems very different to our newest, Chloe. I got Chloe about 4 monthes ago. She's now about 8 monthes old and she's proving more difficult than I can handle. She's upsetting Matty constantly, and now she's getting a bit too fat for her age. I'm starting to think I made a huge mistake attempting to adopt a kitten. I guess 10 years ago I was younger, more lively than I am now, I've had severe depression for a very long time, but when I had Matty it seemed much easier. Now it's much more difficult for me. I have trouble taking care of my own self and the thoughts of wanting another cat got the better of me, even despite some of my Aunt's warning against a new kitten. But now that we are kind of attached to the kitten, how do I just up and give her away? Should I? I'm absolutely scared to death I'm hurting this kitten in the long run. I'm ashamed of myself for everything, but she's becoming more and more hyper to the point it's kind of driving me, my mother, and Matty crazy. I hate to get give her away, or back to the humane society but I don't know what to do. Even when I first got her I was wrestling thoughts of "Was this a good idea? Did I do the right thing?" This kitten is always purring so it's not like she isn't happy. But I notice myself, when I'm frustrated and depressed, wanting to yell at her to get down off the tables, or somewhere she's not suppose to be. I absolutely do NOT want to hurt this kitten in any way. And I fear by keeping her I may very well be doing just that. Whats worse is, my grandma may be dying soon and I have no time to properly watch over the kitten, as far as food and playtime. Since Christmas my grandma had a heartattack and isn't doing good at all, now she's out and in a rehab center but she's not eating much, she's very weak and it's taking a toll on everyone in my family. I just don't know what to do right now...
