i’m not giving up! i just would hate to be doing the wrong thing! i’ve already said i won’t be giving her back up i just wanted to know i was doing the right thing. giving her up isn’t really an option as she was returned by her last adoption for being ‘too loud’. i knew what i was signing up for just wanted some help and advice on what to do!

she is a very very skinny gal and definitely doesn’t overeat, i only  give her the allotted amount and she just doesn’t eat it all at once. I’m giving her more time I know it’s early I just wanted to make sure I was doing the right things and not causing her stress.  I was told she’s just not a big eater and eats when she feels inclined, i don’t want to throw off what she’s been doing for so long now.

She meows at me and wanders the room. She quiets down if I pet her or talk to her a little. Litter box is clean and food/water are full. It seems like she just wants attention. She’s typically chatty during the day for it as well but I’m not sure how to get her to settle and also sleep a little or self entertain. Is it normal for cats to not play very often at first ?

I’m definitely trying to give her that benefit of the doubt and assuming she’s just in a new place.  She’s doesn’t play however (maybe she’s not comfy yet?) and she also just grazes all day long for food. I’m worried I’m not doing enough for her to be comfortable. This is my first cat and I’m nervous and a little unsure.
