Stuffed Animals + Anxiety

Hi all,
I'm back in college for the new semester and I really miss my cat from home. Today I kinda impulse bought a stuffed cat because it was cute and the perfect size for me to hold because I don't have my real cat. All of my old stuffies are in storage now so I didn't have anything to cuddle. I do feel better now that I have it though.
Anyway, I wonder if part of the reason I felt like I needed a stuffed animal was because of my anxiety? When I was younger, I had a lot of stuffed animals and slept with them every night. I feel kinda dumb that I'm an adult and I still feel like I need something to hold and pet. I couldn't find much online about adults with anxiety and stuffies. Anyone else have some thoughts / similar experience?
