Has anyone ever felt nervous after buying a pet?

Question

I bought a cat yesterday and was super excited about it...today that feeling is leaning more towards nervousness...like what have I gotten myself into...

I've owned cats before with no problems, why all of a sudden the anxiety? Has anyone else expreienced it?

Answer 1

Don't worry, be happy !

Answer 2

Perhaps you're nervous because you remember all the things you have to go into for caring for a pet; food, vet visits, teaching it 'manners', etc but the main point of having a pet is so you can have company. I was nervous after I got our puppy two years ago, because I haven't had one since I was five and it was my first pet I had to take care of. More of the point is, you may just be feeling overwhelmed right now, but seeing how adoreable your cat is, you'll probably melt :P

Well, you may be worrying about whether or not it will like you.  When you had cats, was it by yourself, or with your parents.  If it's your first cat alone, that might be where the nerves are coming from.  I'm sure that once you get used to it, and vice versa, that you'll feel fine about it.
