CATS GRIEVING

Question
Hi..I was wondering if yiu can answer my question or direct me to who can. I had 9 cats, one of them unfortunately I had to put to sleep he was very sick. His best buddy (who I took in four years ago fro the outside) for some reason attached to him immediately, wherever he went she was right with him. They slept together and everything. Unfortunately even thought I fed her (Mommy) on the outside for 7 years she will not come over to me. She keeps looking for him (his name was E.T.) and I feel so sad that I cannot help her with this grieving and she hasn't hooked up with any of the other kittys. Is there anything I can do to make this easier for her??? My heart is breaking... Thanks Mary

Answer
Mary,

I'm sorry about your kitty. Unfortunately it will take time for the cat to get over her, possibly up to six months. Give her kitty treats and try to take her mind off of looking for him.

Here is a good article to read on cats grieving:
