Hi everyone.
I haven't been on here in a while but felt if anyone would get this it would be like kinded people like you guys and could maybe gain some advicce from others who had been ina similar situation.
My partner and I have been talking about getting a pet. We initially wanted a dog as I have grown up with them and always loved them. However as we both work atm we wouldnt be able to give the time needed to a dog so we have talked on and off about a cat.
Now I coudlnt say I am huge on cats, much more of a dog person but since being around friends with cats I have warmed to them.
Also my partner and I did adopt a cat a few years ago but it did t go well. Was extremely dominant and rather agressive and my anxiety went through the roof! It only lasted 3 days as we couldnt let it be around my partners children.
I feel I have conquered quite a few anxieties recently, moving house and going on holiday(and actually enjoying it! ) and I would like to be able to do this, but the anxious part of me is thinking what if this puts me over the edge?!
My partner really likes cats and so do his two children and I think I would love it to if I let myself not be so amxious and scared!
plus the sight of a mouse in the house yesterday has spurred me on as well rather alot!!!
just wondering if anyone has any similar issues or did and how they overcame it?
would be greatly appreciated :)
thanks.
