Thinking about fostering a cat,/kitten sometime after December.
My cat is crazy and destructive but it's because she needs more play and attention. I work from home but that's possibly worse because she doesn't understand how I'm home all the time but won't play with her. I took care of a friend's kitten for a few months a few years ago and that was the best my cat ever did, and apparently she likes the boarders a lot when I go on trips and leave her with them.
I had been planning on getting a dog when I moved but the place I bought isn't what I want for a dog - astroturf backyard, busy road, no place to run, no sidewalk to walk on even. So another cat is the best option.
Thing is, I have allergies (why I got a Bengal to begin with) and so does my girlfriend.
And the risk that a second cat will just be more destruction.
So I'll foster first and see how it works out. If it goes well and doesn't trigger allergies too badly maybe I'll adopt the foster. If it goes well but does trigger allergies I'll have to look into other breeds of less allergenic cats and hope one is affordable and less high maintenance than Bengals.
