Bereaved cat

Our cat died this afternoon at the vets. She was 13.5 and was diagnosed with end stage kidney failure this morning. She had only been unwell since New Year’s Day but her decline was rapid and her prognosis dire. How can I make this easier on my remaining cat?

We got them both nearly ten years ago from Cats Protection and we were told they were mother and daughter. The daughter remains and is coming up to 11 now. She was hiding earlier as she doesn’t like the cat carrier and we had one in the house. But now she’s plodding around like normal. However, I am fretting about her and don’t know what to do. She’s had a bit of tuna (a very rare treat) but I don’t really know if I should be doing something more to reassure her.

Thank you.

Could she see your other cat. When two of mine were out to sleep. The remaining cat went along too. Both times at the vets that sought each other out for comfort which was lovely. Magic saw her sister afterwards and definitely knew and understood. Cheddar saw Magic wasn't bothered, but I knew she also understood.

So sorry for your loss.

If she doesn't appear too bothered I wouldn't do anything, really.

We lost our girl in May - one of our remaining boys really grieved her but the other honestly didn't give a toss.
