A bit morbid but if you have 2 cats and one dies

[WildFlowerBees]

Did you get another for company? Our 2 are getting on in years and they've been together since they were kittens we got them from a rescue at a year old. Although they don't really curl up together they are never far from each other and it worries me what we'll do when one leaves us.

I don't really want any more cats after ours but I also don't want to see the one left stressed in any way.

One of ours I think will cope fine the other I'm not so sure about.

I'm hoping we have a long while yet so really I'm musing at this point.

We are in that situation now. I think our boy does miss our deceased cat as he's been much louder than normal and wants more cuddles which he's been getting but equally he's an old boy and I don't think getting a kitten will help.

We’ve always had two, the last two died within six months of each other and we were too heartbroken for a long time so we were catless, plus had a puppy. Then got two kittens and one died before she was two. We waited a few months and got another cat because the remaining one seemed lonely and they hate each other tbh. I don’t wish I hadn’t got him because I do love him (I love all my animals very much) but I think my other cat wishes he would disappear!

It’s my mum I worry about. She insists on having two cats at all times and no intentions to stop. When she dies I’m supposed to take the cats in which will mean I’ve got four!
