female cat much happier.

[thursdaymurderclub]

I feel really sad, my gorgeous ginger tom has not been seem for 5 weeks now and i have assumed the worse. BUT, my black and white female seems to be thriving without him?

Poppy (B&W) and Sinki (Ginger) never really got on, they lived in the same house but Poppy would keep herself to herself, she's always been very shy and doesn't like to be round people. Poppy and Sinki tolerated each other, but he was much younger and all he wanted to do was play whereas Poppy is a more demure cat and likes to keep warm and sleep.

But now Sinki is not here, she's really comeing out of her shell, she seems to be loving being in a single cat household, she's gained some weight, she's more sociable and friendly and she even has mad half hours with the zoomies which we've never seen before.

I really want my Ginger puss back, but i also love the way Poppy is behavining

Oh it is such a heartbreak! You can't have known they would not get on when you saved Sinki, they may have turned out to be besties for all you knew, don't feel bad for doing the right thing!
Though....do you know anyone who would give either one a perfect home? Someone you know would adore whichever one it was and allow visits?
Otherwise it seems like you are doing the best possible job of keeping both as happy as you can in the current circumstances 😻

please excuse the unmade bed!! but i wandered upstairs and was met by this heartwarming scene.... its never ever happened before.. they do both sleep on the bed, but its usually one at a time!

Aw, hope it’s a truce !

They're both gorgeous and hopefully she's secretly missed him ❤️

You mentioned he's a tom... he might become a bit less boisterous and less prone to wandering if you get him neutered.

This is what my vet friend said when we were getting a cat - her advice was to get one because there’s no guarantee they’ll get on (even siblings) and they’re likely on average to be happier alone.

OP - I’m sorry to hear about your missing cat

@SocksShmocks he came back!😻

Oh! I should have read the whole thread. Sorry. I am pleased he is ok ❤️

he is neutered? do you not refer to a male cat (with or without his bits) a tom? lol

I ‘lost ‘a cat briefly with me, one of my ex’s, didn’t keep her in long enough semi feral, spotted unable to be trapped.
Chipped to both of our addresses, so if she was found she would have had a home.
Was ok with that
