Sorry to heart that, you & Fariba hang in there for a few weeks, then go adopt another one.

Sorry to bring back this thread, but this is interesting. Our other kitty, Puya, came down two week ago with something called Nonobstructive Idiopatic Interstitial Cystitis. He is depressed and doesn't want to eat or drink!

Turns out they don't exactly know what causes this in cats but they think it comes from kitty being distressed. It's supposed to hopefully go away after a few weeks. The vet gave us a questioner to determine the changes in the cat's life that might have caused stress. The only applicable condition: "Death or departure of a pet family member!"

In short, Puya is mourning Sammy!!! :(

Did the questionnaire start with, "Did you have your TV set to the Chiefs/Bills game this past Sunday, with the cat in the room?"

LMAO

No, his predates the game by a week and a half. But interestingly I have to now consult the vet about my own Nonobstructive something something.

Sorry to hear that...Best of luck during this period for you guys.

LMAO

sorry for your loss.

So sorry to hear about Sammy. Hope your kitten feels better soon. I took my cat months to get over the death of our dog. He's with her now.

We had to put our dog (ironically named Sammy) down last year. She was a great dog, a foxhound\beagle mix. Our other dog, Tika, is a chihuahua. For weeks, Tika (who never lasted long on a walk around the block) was walking very determined, like she was looking for something. IMO, she was looking for Sammy.

I'm not some sappy "animals are just like humans" person, but I do understand what they mean to us and how they are almost like family. The worst part about buying an animal is you pretty much KNOW it is going to die. Last year we got another dog. But nothing will replace Sammy.

Take care man.

Ugliest cat I've ever seen

Thanks. Sammy was very very special.

That's exactly how Puya's current condition started! For two days before his condition he was looking all around the house looking for something. He would sit in front of every close door looking at it for about an hour. It was strange. I think it was just starting to dawn on him that Sammy may never come back.

That's exactly why you should have fed Sammy to Puya. This way the cat isn't confused, just full.

Tweety Bird, wasn't it?

You might be thinking of Tom and Jerry.
