Due to my state going to a stay at home order our shelter was trying to get all their cats and dogs into foster homes. My husband and I agreed to take a cat, I'm hoping this can be a forever home (husband is reluctant, our other cat Neil passed away in October and we've been experiencing our grief in different ways, I've been wanting another cat, he has not) . We got Trinity who is very curious, not at all anxious, and very affectionate. The only issue we have is she'll dart towards the door when we try to leave and will growl a little as we try to shuffle around her. I can't tell if she's growling at us leaving, at not being able to leave herself, or if being so close to our feet is upsetting her (she's practically right under foot). We have two other cats so we didn't want to just jump into introductions, but we haven't had a cat be so insistent about getting out. We've set up the baby gate further away from the door to try to give us some time between us leaving her and her getting under our feet but she figured out she can easily jump over it. So my questions 1) Any other people come up with creative ways to keep a cat confined to a room? 2) If she is scared of our feet being so close is there any suggestions for helping her get comfortable (short of putting wet food on our shoes)?
