That is sad I think I would consider a new playmate for her

Well put SW-there is always room in your heart for just one more

To true, its not like you are trying to replace her, she will always be in your heart. All kitties need love!

We lost our cat recently, not only am I missing him our dog is too.

We are getting two kittens on Thursday. Its the right thing for us.

Unfortunately, we can be consumed in our own grief, completely forgetting the other pet who has been left behind.

This happened when one of our two dogs was put to sleep. We were so wrapped up in our own grief, that we did not notice Luke pining.

I would suggest that you get another cat, preferably a younger one, for companionship. Sorry, to hear of your loss.

I feel so sad reading this post because when we lost our cat after 9 years I was so devastated, although his sister (litter mate) looked confused she did not look like she was pining and my husband explained to her and let her have a sniff at him in the hope she would understand what had happened - it was very sudden - he was hit by a car
It is only recently I realise that like me she still misses him sometimes she comes over for a hug and if I mention him she gives a look and I'm sure it's exactly what she was thinking. We got a new cat but they are pretty indifferent - funnily enough she seems really calm with oure new cat having a litter.

Hope all goes well with you and your cat and definitely get another even if they don't get on perfectly you will still have given a cat a home and I think having other cats around is more healthy for them.
