Hello all,
As some of you may be aware from my recent postings my two old boys have both been PTS since August - Oscar 31/08 and Edgar 09/11.
I have a third cat Nina - she is only three so was a lot younger than them and came to live with us when she was a kitten. They all lived together from December 2008 until now.
Oscar & Nina didn't take a lot to do with each other although they would sometimes sit side by side on the window ledge and feed side by side. Edgar being the lovely sociable boy he was was close to them both. If he wasn't sleeping curled around Oscar he was around Nina.
Since Oscar died he really became close to Nina and tried to sleep beside her all the time and they groomed each other.
He has now been gone for four days and I feel she has become very withdrawn and I am unsure if I should be doing anything to help her.
I have barely stepped over the door all weekend, I live alone so its strange that we went from a household of four to me and her so quickly. However she isn't really coming near me and has slept all day today. Yesterday she was actually under my bed and didn't even come out when I got up or called her - only when I got her food out.
I realise she will be upset too - but I just wondered if I could do anything to help her. We are both so upset without our boys
