I just started to foster a new 7 month old cat because I wanted a mellow companion and I feel like I’m doing everything wrong. At first I didn’t know to keep her in my room, so I opened her in my main apartment room and eventually coaxed her out of hiding. I started to play with a bird on a string toy and we had some fun. Now I have her locked in my room, and I thought I lost her last night and lost my mind because I though she escaped, only to learn she was just hiding somewhere I still haven’t found.
I’ve been trying to sleep but she meows and walks on my face and knocks things off shelves while she’s exploring my bedroom, and she wants to play ALL the time. I don’t have the energy to play all the time, especially if she’s keeping me up at night. I have no clue what I’m doing and I’m starting to feel really overwhelmed not even two full days into my foster (I originally intended to adopt but she has a “kitty cold” as the woman at the shelter said, I have to give her an eyedrop for it twice daily).
Any advice or encouragement? I just want to make sure we can coexist successfully.
