Thanks for the responses, everyone. :) I guess you're right - I'd come to love the new cat no matter what, just in a different way. :) I'm still wondering, though, if you think Oliver needs a new friend at all? He's doing okay by himself, it seems. But I've read that most cats do better in at...

Hello everyone, About 3 weeks ago, I lost one of my babies that I rescued just over a year ago, Ivy. Her brother Oliver is still with me, and after almost 3 weeks, he seems to be adjusting very well. I'm writing to ask you all if you think he needs another friend? Sorry if this is the wrong...

Thank you everyone for continuing to give me advice and support. :) Oliver actually seems to be doing much better now. He's still searching and meowing for her, but he does it less and less each day, and seeing him get better each day has definitely made it easier for me to cope as well. I...

Thank you everyone. :) I'm going to give Oliver as much time and affection as I can, and hopefully we'll get through this soon. I'm thinking of having a memorial-type thing next week when I get her ashes back, for some closure. My parents and brother, although they only got to meet Ivy for a few...

Thanks everyone. :) I'll definitely look into getting a diffuser. I got one when I first rescued them, for the first month they were with me, and I think it helped with their transition from their old home to mine. I had forgotten about those. Thanks for reminding me! I do also have a new cat...

Hello, I lost one of my cats, Ivy, last night. I posted about it over in the Crossing the Bridge forum (http://www.thecatsite.com/t/264297/ivy-passed-away-last-night). I'm just wondering how I can help her brother best right now. He did get to see her body, so he might know that she's dead, if...

Hello all, One of my cats died last night. :( I made a post in the health section a few weeks ago, and by the time I remembered about it, it was pretty old, and I didn't want to bump an old thread. Anyway, I do have one question that I'd like advice on, which'll be at the very end, in case you...

Hello, I'm new here and I just wanted to introduce myelf and my two beautiful cats, Ivy and Oliver. I adopted them from a rescue association about a year ago. :) Here's a picture of us. Sorry that it's not a very good picture of me - the cats are the focus of the picture anyway. :P

Hello all, I'm new here and I just found this website, so I figured I'd give it a go. Quick summary: I have two beautiful 5 year-old Tonkinese cats that I rescued about a year ago, and they're basically my children (which I'm sure you can all understand). About two weeks ago, I found one of...
