We had and have same thing here

In 2018 3 of our "Gabriels Girls" crossed the bridge, so little Snoopy was all of a sudden the only cat in the house....
She went to all the catbeds and all the different places where she usually found her furr-friends.....
Although she and Inka were NOT the best friends, she missed her too...
She didn't eat much, and stayed in one of the catbeds, sleeps almost all day long....
It is now two months ago, and she plays and eats a bit more.
She needs lots of lovies from us too

We know she is lonely...
Lots of people say "get a new friend" for her.
I would love to, but my hubby wants to wait untill November/December
The reason: we are having a new house build, and we will move before the end of this year.
He says that the new cat will have to ajust to two different houses in rather a short time.....
No idea if he is right though... , but he will stick to his opinion here

I tried to get some info on grieving kitties, and one article suggested not to get a new cat right away. They said it only would add more stress to an already upset cat.

You are going above and beyond, doing everything right. Of course you and the cats are grieving, each in your own, individual ways. I am sure they pick up on your sense of loss and that is also a factor in their behaviour. We all must feel our emotions and carry on, forward we go when even it feels like our hearts may break. You will always have understanding peeps at Pet Talk and sharing your feelings is so important. We understand and if we can help in any way, will certainly let you know. As I said, you are doing everything right and I am so sorry Monroe passed so suddenly and far too soon. huge bear hug🐻🐻

Thank you, mon.

I'm sure cats grieve, too. Miss Kitty, Clover and Olive just can't understand where Monroe has gone. I hope that time and lots of cuddles/attention will help ease the pain - for all of you.

((((hugs))))

Thank you, Randi!
Everybody is getting extra lovies. Right now, it is just too quiet.
