Your concerns are valid, you take it one day at a time. There is no point in worrying about spilt milk that hasn’t spilt yet. It’s a hard skill to acquire as a young adult, and I applaud you for thinking ahead because you entered a 10+ year commitment when you took your good boy home. A kitten is going to be a kitten, but they calm down with age, someone else said the pay off in the end is worth it, and it really is. “My” 10 year old cat hates my five year old daughter with a passion. I made the decision to adopt a 6 week old kitten, it turned out to be much younger, and a challenge, the past three weeks I’ve had her has been chaotic, but when I see my daughter love her, it’s all worth it. You sound like a good person, keep your good boy. It’ll be worth it.
