I've just taken ownership of a 6/7 year old cat who's owner passed away. She's been in my care now for over 48hrs, isn't eating, drinking or going 'toilet' since being here. She has decided to hide under my bed & only comes out an hour or 2 at a time. She's very withdrawn & not sure what to do. I had never met this cat prior to this...

In reply to Bob Hagner. I'm so sorry Bob. It can be heart breaking to watch our cats grieve. Thank you for contacting me and asking for my help. I sent you the information about consultations, including the history form to fill out.

Cat Coach...Have a tan tabby who was born in our window well with 2 other kittens mother took the 2 kittens & left her there, so I raised her by feeding her KMR kitten milk with rubber nipples she grew up using her litter box next day drank out of a stainless steel cup she was a happy little kitten....we had 2 adult Maine Coon cats which enjoyed her except for Oreo who steered clear of her but any fight,Oreo was a petigreed Maine Coon as was Curleywho did like to "wrestle" and at times just a boxing match...when one had enougfht it would take off.....Curlay passed just 3 weeks ago at 18yrs....since then JoyPips hasn't been the same where she would play in the LVGR with all kinds of toys a happy kitten she's now 4 going on 5....well since Curley passed she sticks to our son's room on his bed with Curley's towel never moving out of his room only to go downstairs to use the litter box which Oreo & Curley trained her ....she will go into the kittchen to drink water eat dry food but never playing as she did...only 1 room

When I moved to Virginia, I had to leave my cat with my daughter and granddaughter for about 3 months until I could find a new place to live. When I picked Mimi up and brought her home with me, she was very withdrawn and quiet, depressed. I knew she missed my granddaughter. She perked up in a very few weeks, but they do indeed miss those they're separated from and grieve for them.
