A few days, after Monroe had passed away, I noticed that the kitties were acting differently.
Miss Kitty visited all of Monroe's favorite places, and she looked confused when she couldn't find him.
Then, Clover stopped eating. I was terrified to have another sick cat.
I had him checked out, and, physically, there was nothing wrong with him. But he hadn't eaten in 3 days, so I was very worried. The vet suggested that he potentially was grieving over Monroe. That had crossed my mind.
She told me to try an appetite stimulant. It took only one dose, and now he's eating again, but he is very quiet and not as playful.
And poor Olive is hollering more than usual. It's something she does occasionally, but now she's vocalizing for a couple of hours every evening.
The only one who doesn't seem to be affected is Mindy. She was never very fond of her brother.
When Willa died, none of them seemed different, but she always kept to herself. Monroe, on the other hand, was always in the middle of everything.
I think that this will take some time and some extra attention!
