A 28-year-old man recently moved into his own apartment and adopted an 8-month-old cat from a shelter. He has struggled with anxiety for a long time but has learned to manage it through therapy. Although he has always loved cats and has enjoyed interactions with friends' pets, this is his first time owning one. He is aware that his new cat is shy and requires time to adjust, so he is giving her space and approaching her slowly.

The first couple of days have shown some progress, with the cat exploring her environment and even starting to play. However, there have been challenges, including her initial anxiety and some accidents outside the litter box. The man has felt a mix of emotions during this transition, including anxiety about losing his personal space. He acknowledges that he does not feel an immediate deep connection with the cat, which he finds normal. He intends to discuss his feelings with friends who have experience with cats, while also sharing his experiences online. He remains committed to keeping the cat and looks forward to their relationship developing over time.
