Transitioning as a pet parent
Hey, guys! I'm set to start T this Friday (🥳), and just had a question occur to me, so thought I'd ask y'all:
Did going on T change your relationship with your pets at all?
Like, I know cats and dogs can be sensitive to smells and changes in health and whatnot, so did altering your hormones have an impact on how your pets interact with you in any way? Or did your appearance changes have any effects on your relationship with them?
One of my cats in particular (Jack) is such a sweet, sensitive baby, and he only ever fully relaxes and feels safe when it's just the two of us, so I'm just nervous about possibly confusing or upsetting him with the upcoming changes.
ETA: Thank you guys so much for sharing your experiences, I appreciate you! It's so reassuring that the general consensus seems to be that it usually has a neutral to positive impact if any; so glad to know my little nuggets shouldn't be bothered and also won't hate me or think I'm a stranger 🥹 bc of the tism, I also struggle with keeping in mind that it's gonna be a process and not an immediate, black and white transformation upon injection, so I genuinely appreciate those reminders! Lol Y'all are awesome!
