I am new to forums but my brother suggested I do this. My grandmother past away one week ago today. She willed her 11-year old cat, Prissy to me. Prissy has only been around one person - my grandmother. It took us three days to retrieve her from underneath the bed in my grandmothers home. Prissy had terrible matted furr balls covering her body. We took her to the vet to get groomed and updated on her vaccinations. The vet suggested that we isolate her in a room for a few days until she is ready to come out. I made a nice pallet in our spare bath room for her with food, water and a litter box (in a seperate room of course). Prissy has hidden in the blankets and will not come out. When we try to pet her, she hisses and growels. She has not eaten or drank anything all week. However, she HAS gone to the bath room but not in the litter box. It smells terrible.
I feel terrible that she is greiving so much and wasn't sure if anyone has experienced anything like this before. I too have a 14 year old kitty so I know that will be another transition in itself. Please help and offer any suggestions. It is breaking my heart.
