Thank you everyone for your thoughts! This question might be better in the general cats thread, but as I expected, Cricket has times where she seems to get upset (meowing for no apparent reason or wandering around looking for Tigger). I try to get to her to give her attention, but do you have any thoughts about anything else I can do? She'll eventually get used to being an only child, right?

I don't want to get another cat at this point because I don't think it would be fair to her. She's 20 and set in her ways. :-)

Mags, I'm sure cats are different, but I've always found that dogs seem to adjust pretty quickly after one dies. I don't know if it was right or not, but I have always made it a point to make sure the surviving dogs saw and/or sniffed the body of the deceased before burial. In my thinking, it is important for them to know that their friend is dead so they don't just go around looking for her and not understanding why they can't find her. I think mine are still a bit sad that Sheba is gone, but at least they know why.

I dont know if Cricket ever will stop. My BooBoo still cries out and looks for Sheena (deceased 3yrs ago dog) She does this less regularly now but it still breaks my heart.

I got Booboo and Sheena the same day in 1991 from the SPCA. I truly dont remember much about how BooBoo behaved when Sheena needed to be put down (here at home). I am sure she must have known

Boomer died almost a year and a half ago now. I started sleeping with Boomer's collar under my pillow after he died (a little comfort thing to keep something of his near me), intending to eventually place it in our cedar chest after time went by. Bomba never really looked for him, except for in the "heat of the moment" times (when they'd go outside, or we'd come downstairs or something, Bomba always would pounce on Boomer playfully). But in the last few months, Bomba's gone and checked under my pillow every morning to nuzzle/lick Boomer's collar. Since Bomba started this morning ritual, I've decided to leave it there for as long as neccessary. Its sort of like, when we get up in the morning Bomba just goes over to the collar to tell his brother "good morning" or something. Its really very sweet.

Oh Slinky, Oh Mags, I'm so so sorry for you both.
Hugs to you both and your families too.

Mags, sorry to hear about Cricket. I so wish we could explain to our animals. Cashmere died on 2/14, now Oreo seems to be finally getting used to life without her sister. Even our vet suggested maybe trying a kitten for Oreo but she is 19, an old lady like Cricket. I think a new kitten or cat would be too stressful on Oreo, but she was never around another animal besides Cashmere, they were littermates. I still haven't cleaned the heating pad cover they both slept on that Oreo now sleeps on. It really has a lot of hair on it, but I didn't want to remove Cashmere's scent. I thought it might help Oreo.

Hi Happymom. Thanks for the thoughts and I'm sorry about Cashmere.

I tried to give Cricket the sweatshirt that I was wearing when I put Tigger down...I think it really confused her, so I took it away. She seems to be doing okay now...she has a few moments when she seems a little depressed, but they are getting fewer as the weeks go on -- thank goodness.

We let our beloved Sophie go today. This morning she wouldn't let me out of her sight and if she woke up and I wasn't there she would cry. We took her to the vets this afternoon, I was hoping in my heart that he would give her stronger pain meds but he said the cancer was moving into her lungs. I got to hold her when her heart stopped. We brought her home and buried her under a plum tree wrapped in her blanket. It is so hard to think she is gone.

I am so sorry, SG. This has been a very sad day for you. Sophie was blessed that you loved her so much to spare her any further pain.

I am so sorry Granny. Unfortunately, I know just how you feel. My heart still aches for my Ivy.
I am thinking about you. It is so sad to have to say goodbye to our beloved pets.

Supergranny. I'm thinking about you. That is such a hard thing to go through. I have my sammy burried under a tree in our backyard. I think it helped a lot. Big hugs.

((Granny)) Bless you. Someone once told me the depth of your sorrow is equal to the depth of your love. It helped me, I hope somehow it will help you too.

SG, so sorry about poor Sophie. You know though, that she's over the Rainbow Bridge playing with all the other missed TVCH furbabies.

(((( Supergranny & Sophie ))))

My deepest sympathy to you, Supergranny. I just caught up on the dog thread yesterday, and noted that Sophie's pain meds were working pretty good. It's good that she did not have to endure too much suffering. In case you wonder, you did the right thing.
