Dumb idea...but would taking Nugget in a carrier to see them be weird?

All I can think of is giving him time and lots of loves, and/or another kitten...

Peacemakers have such sweet and gentle hearts...they crack easily...

Here's one idea...pet communicators often communicate with pictures. I am not psychic...but when you look into Nugget's eyes, picture Peapod as you last saw him, happy in his new house. Allow the picture of the room he is in to appear...let the picture fill your mind while looking at Nugget, and think of the picture as "going" to him.

If he "sees" PeaPod as okay, that might help.

crazy? Maybe. But another excuse to look into those beautiful eyes!
