It has been about seven weeks since Fuzzy died and his sister is still acting unusual. I'm not sure if this is something to be concerned about since I've never had a cat act like this for so long after a death. She's sleeping a lot and sleeping in different locations then she used to. She rarely sleeps in the spots her and Fuzzy slept in. She also stopped sleeping in her spot directly below Fuzzy's favorite cat perch. I changed the bedding so it can't be due to his smell. She's also become very clingy to me at nights which is usually when her and Fuzzy would cuddle.
Her appetite is the same and she seems to be using the litterbox ok (she's very discreet so it's hard to tell). Her and Fuzzy are siblings from a different litter (possibly also father and daughter) and had only known each other for two out of their 10-11 years. She seemed very fond of him and he seemed to tolerate her.
I let her seem him his last three days when he was extremely lethargic and staggering around. I'm thinking it may be part of why she's so upset.
None of the other cats seem to be aggressive with her. In fact, there's been a few days when she's been a little hostile with them for no apparent reason. Two of them are females and one is a male (all siblings from the same litter). The male is very gentle and seems to like her. The females are a little "bossy" but she knows how to put them in their place.
Is there anything to be concerned about? Should I give her a few more weeks to mourn?
Her yearly exam is due in the next three weeks so I'll be sure to ask the vet about this problem, if it still exists.
