Hi! I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this feeling.
I got a kitten a few months ago, a lovely and friendly little boy. He is so so loved. He’s my first pet really.
However, we had a rough start, he became sick shortly after we got him, didn’t keep food down and lost a lot of weight. Our first weeks together were full of anxiety and vet visits. The first week and a half of this, I kept taking him to the same vet who kept brushing us off with the answer of ‘he needed to settle in’. So it really felt like such a fight to be taken seriously. In the end I did my own research and took him to a new vet where he was actually treated. He pulled through and health wise is perfect.
I really do think the world of him, and I love him so much. But I can’t help but feel consumed with constant anxiety. My head is usually full of: Am I feeding him a good diet? Is he happy? Is he bored? Am I meeting all his needs? Does he feel loved? Analysing every meow. Just constant worry over his health and behaviour when everything suggests he’s fine. I took him for his next kitten check at the vet the other day, she had no concerns and had such positive things to say about his health and personality. But I just can’t shake the constant anxiety, I wish I could enjoy this time more.
