hello everyone!!

i just adopted my second cat today. i was expecting the wave of anxiety that would come with him as i experienced the same thing when i adopted my first cat back in august. when i got her, i think it was just the sudden lifestyle adjustment and it made me feel very anxious and almost dissociated for a few days. i really wondered if i had made the right decision. months later, i am absolutely in love with her and can't imagine my life without her. 

getting a second cat has presented a unique set of anxieties. i'm experiencing the same anxiety/dissociation and a lot of it right now is just me worrying about integrating my cats together and being scared that they won't work out, or being scared that i won't be able to provide them both with as much love, or that my first cat will start to resent me, which would break me. i'm keeping them separated for 14 days as per the humane society's instructions and i'll be doing some site swapping, but i'm just very concerned about my first cat as she is very high energy and attached to me, so i'm very worried it will take her a long time to adjust to him or not at all.

i know that in the end it will likely be okay and that the weird anxiety i feel right now will dissipate, but it's making me feel awful right now haha. i just needed to vent, but if anyone has any advice or similar experiences, i would really appreciate some input!
