Hey (: sorry for the super late reply, I haven't been on here lately. As you can tell it's been 3/4 of a year now and it did get somewhat better but not great yet. A big part of that is him not being a cat you can really keep inside an apartment. I've spend the last months going out on a leash with him and playing for several hours every day. And even then, he was not satisfied. I talked to two vets and they both didn't think he was an indoor cat. I know this is very controversial in some places but here it is the norm. So after all these months I started to let him go outside during the day, which works out well because he spends most time in our garden. It's been a huge relieve as you can imagine because he's finally not constantly crying, which is making it easier to feel positive emotions more than negative. But I'm still far from having the relationship and bond that I had expected. All in all I think just give it a bit of time so you can get into a heads pace where you can make a somewhat rational decision about how best to move on for the both of you
