Boo Bear and Coco Puff; update 1/2; a weird update; post #41

My boy Boo Bear looks crestfallen. He hasn't made a sound since I came back from the vet's yesterday. He's usually very vocal. I think Pidge's trip to the Bridge has finally sunk in.

Coco Puff, on the other hand, hasn't stopped crying and I can't figure that one out. He and Pidge weren't buddies; they just more or less lived in the same house. When I came home yesterday, he went over to the carrier and sniffed it, looked inside and IMMEDIATELY ran upstairs and looked under my bed b/c that's where Pidgie had been sleeping day and night. Then the yowling started and it hasn't stopped. This boy knows she's gone.

Boo Bear is on my lap right now and he's like a limp rag. I feel so bad for him and my blue eyed boy Coco Puff. :(

I think that even if Our Cats dont look as thjough they are close, that theres a strong bond between them.:(
The sad things is they never have closure and are always waiting for thier friends to be there!!:(
My Found Cats as Boo Bear and Cocoa Puff keep watching out for Moose , Bo Bo and Ebony Beau.:(
I am sorry to hear that Pidge has passed on, and Tonight on Curaco Beach there will be a Big Beach Party in His Honor with all of his favorite foods.
He is not an Awsome Angel and will find a place where you can all be together again.
One Fine Day:love:

Awe.... poor boys. They are missing their Pidge. It will take them some time but they grieve just like we do. I know when my Mac got adopted, his buddy Bear was just inconsolable, it was so sad!

This brings tears to my eyes. :( Poor Boo Bear. And even though Coco Puff didn't seem very close to Pidge, it's something different. Somethings is missing and not right in the house.
The only time I saw something close to this was after we let DJ, Bruce's Cocker Spaniel, go to the bridge. Taz seemed to look for him for a few days. They were not close AT ALL, but he still looked for him. And after Taz left me Zoee seemed to look for him. But was quickly distracted by Taggart chewing on her neck.

Please give Boo and Coco loves from me. And hugs to you as well Mary.

I'm so sorry Boo Bear and Coco Puff are going through this and you too as well.

All you can do is be there for them and hug them and tell them it will be ok. I'm so sorry again and my prays are going out to you and Boo Bear and Coco Puff.

My two boys do not seem very close at all, they don't actually fight, but snuggle buddies they ain't! The last time Ming had to stay at the vets for a few days, Mac looked around for him and seemed confused. The good part is in a couple of hours he seemed to be enjoying his new title of "The Only Cat in the House". I hope Boo and Coco Puff adjust quickly. You don't need any more grief or worry right now.

Boo Bear is still lost. He walks all through the house, looking in rooms; I know that he's looking for Pidge. He actually has a lost expression on his face. When I come home, I usually find him sitting alone in the middle of the room, just staring. If you can find a moment for a prayer for my senior blackie Boo Bear, I'd be so appreciative. He's 18 now and I sure don't want to lose him to a broken heart. :( Coco Puff still walks around meowing but he isn't taking it as hard as he did. After all, Boo Bear and Pidge were sweethearts for a long time.

Aw this is heart breaking. They are sad, and also they are picking up your emotions.

Can you find some time to spend an extra 3 to 5 minute with each one individually, morning and evening? I know working we all have our routines. They need a bit of comforting, I think.

Would Boo Bear feel better with a stuffy to snuggle up next to? Sorry, no real good ideas pop in to my head here. Chin rubs to both of them.

Oh sure, they're both getting lots of extra attention both from me and my son. Boo Bear is his boy. Boo has never had a snuggly; Pidge was always his snuggly but it's worth a try. Thanx, Sandie. :)

Aww - that is so sad. Poor boy misses his Pidge as much as you do. Hopefully time will heal his sadness too.

How are the other cats doing? Is it business as usual, or are they reacting too? Okay - I'm wracking my senior brain here for names. There's Specs and Creamsicle, but I'll be darned if I can come up with the last one. :(

Sandie had a good idea. Maybe you could go to the toy section of a store like Target or Walmart or Kohls, and get a life size stuffed fluffy toy cat. You should be able to find something left over from all the ones they always have at Christmas.


ETA: Duh!!!!!!!!!!!! Yodie.

A snuggly doesn't work. :( Boo Bear is just grieving, that's all there is to it. He's been sleeping downstairs, not even wanting to snuggle in w/me but last night I was encouraged b/c he stayed upstairs when I put the rest of the Fur Posse to bed. Then he went to the bottom of the stairs and looked up. I know he was hoping to see Pidge at the top of the stairs b/c she always waited there for me. My son carried him upstairs and petted him and talked to him for a while. Then Boo went into my bedroom, stood on his hind legs like a prairie dog and peeked up over the edge of the bed, again hoping to see Pidge there. The look on his face was so sad that I got tears in my eyes b/c he turned to me w/a vacant stare as if to say "Where is she?" I'm watching him like a hawk b/c I fear that he's going downhill now. He's eating, using the litterbox, etc. but his grieving really has me worried.

Coco Puff is still looking for LBK but he isn't as vocal as he was. I think he's getting used to the idea that she isn't there now, thankfully. Two sad cats is just too much. I'm sad enough knowing that my son will be leaving for L.A. on Monday morning. :(

Oh, I am so sorry. Poor Boo, and poor all of you.

Mary, have you tried explaining it to them. Actually saying the words out loud? Sonya (the Pet Psychic lady) swears they understand everything we say. Maybe Coco Puff is vocalizing asking you questions. :confused:

It couldn't hurt to explain to them that Pidgie has crossed the bridge and is okay and that you'll all see each other again some day (or whatever your beliefs).

Boo looking for her on the bed, that just brought more tears to my eyes. :( Poor guy. He just doesn't understand.

Hugs to you, Boo Bear and Coco Puff.
