'The idea of leaving in the middle of the night is making me so sad': Couple leaves 2-year-old cat alone for vacation for the first time, separation anxiety makes them question the trip

Being a new cat parent is hard. You may question your every move, every bowl of food you give them, every toy you buy for them. You wrack your brain wondering if you're doing things right, or how you can do them better. In the story below, it centers around a couple who question how to take care of their little kitty.

They got their adorable 2-year-old cat in September, everything is nascent for both the couple and the kitty. Having a cat for such a short time is jarring – the trust has yet to be built, and everyone is walking on eggshells. The couple has a trip planned for the first time since getting her, and they've prepared for different family members to come every few days to take care of the cat. But anyone who's ever had a cat knows how unstable it can be for strangers to be entering and exiting the home while the cat is still fresh and new. They wonder what they should do, and if they should go on the vacation at all.

In reality, the cat will probably be completely fine. But understandably so, the owners are so worried. Because the cutie is so new to them, and so affectionate already, it might scare them that they cant just be with her at all times.
