Last year I adopted two female adult cats. They are now 10 years old. They family left the continent and they wanted to leave them with someone who was really invested and I loved them right away. I was aware that getting adult cats is difficult because they already had personalities and behaviors. I want to mention I've never had pets before. When I got them, F weighted 4kg, T weighted 3,7kg.
Now, one is overweight and the other is underweight. The overweight one wakes me up in the middle of the night, sometimes twice, to eat. I can't possibly ignore her. I can't send her into another room. The other one barely eats kibbles, I tried changing kibbles but she's not into them, and wants wet food constantly, which is not good for her elderly gums. Everytime I come home or wake up, she cries by the kitchen door, demanding food. When she eats, she doesn't know when to stop, and she vomits. And on top of it, she's losing weight.
On top of everything, I have insomnia, and the cats are not helping. My mental health has been spiraling for the past months, I feel angry and drained all the time.
I'm so attached to them, I love these cats so much and I can't possibly think about giving them away, after they've been given to me. It would break my heart and I could never forgive myself. And I don't know whou would take two senior cats.
