Hello,
I couldn't figure out where it's best to ask this question, so I'm placing it here. If it isn't the right place, I will watch for where it is moved.
I'm thinking about adopting a cat who is currently in a foster home, though I don't know yet why she's there and haven't met her yet. My question is, does a cat know it's in a temporary home, or does it feel that's it's forever home, and when someone else comes along and removes it to take it to their home, does the cat resent them for it?
I can certainly understand that a cat at a shelter would know the difference between being there, and being adopted and taken to someone's home, but what about a foster home? Sometimes they sleep right on the bed with people, so they must think they're part of the family, and probably aren't prepared to leave with someone that will be a stranger to them.
