My Cat

[beccaannxo]

So I’ve owned cats all my life and I moved about 7 months ago and I have been having really bad anxiety. I just got a kitten and i have a fear of being allergic to it. Like I’m scared to touch it yet I’ve never beeen allergic before. Help me nothing ever helps.

Have you had bad anxieties while owning other cats in the past, Beccaannxo?

Never.

So what is different about this new kitten?

Nothing is. Idk why my brain does this. It’s the same way with food I’ve eaten my whole life.

Ease your mind - buy a bottle of Benadryl (if that’s something that you can take). Play with the cat and if you have a fear you’re having a reaction, the Benadryl should kick it out. I’m lightly allergic to cats, some days I’m better than others, and if I take Claritin (for light allergies) or if I get hives and stuff, I’ll take Benadryl then I won’t have to worry.

You’re probably just anxious to have a new pet. When I brought my kitten home I was sooo anxious that the whole house energy would be off and I got that guilty feeling that I made a mistake! But once you and the kittens personalities mesh, you’ll love it unconditionally
