depression?

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
We had 2 kittens from birth and finally decided to give the Female to an older woman whos cat died of old age. The cats are 7 months old. Now the male that we kept is acting funny. Not wanting to be in the same room with us and stays where his sister stayed all the time...He is still eating and drinking ok but looks like he is losing weight. It has been about 1 week since we gave her away and the past 2 days he has been acting like this...My qt is could he be missing his sister cause he really looks sad but, why now after a week of her being gone..Plz help--if u know anything about this plz let me know. Thanks!

It is my understanding that two cats can "bond" with one another, especially littermates. There are others here who can tell you more.

It does sound like he is missing her. Give him some extra attention, talk to him, hes probably feeling a bit lost without his sister....

thanks guys for the input...We r tring to show him as much attention as we can...Has anyone ever heard of a cat passing due to a missing a sibling? He just acts like he is lost.. I hate to ask for the female cat back cause I know she went to a wonderful home..Do u think we should try to get another kitten..We have a chihuahua that plays with him and they get along great, but, we r willing to get another cat if u think that will help.
