Is forced cuddles when my cat gets destructive bad?
As most cats do, mine gets the zoomies but sometimes he can get a little destructive or will run across me while I am sleeping. He mostly does this when I haven't played with him enough (I work 12 hr shifts, it gets difficult sometimes) and I always make sure to play with him more when hes been doing this, but I've found one of the most helpful things I can do in the moment is grab him and put him in a position that doesnt squeeze him but that he also cant escape from and just pet him until the zoomies energy wears off. He usually tries to make and escape a few times at first but accepts it and starts purring when he chills out and then I let him go. I just want to make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong by kinda trapping him like that because I know sometimes when cats get anxious they purr to comfort themselves.
