I wish that I had found this forum sooner as I'm sure it would've helped me a lot when I really needed it last summer. Although they've been gone for months now, I still find myself accidentally calling my other cat by their names, or expecting Tiger to jump up on the sofa to nap with me. Tiger left us in late May last year when he finally lost his battle with CRF. I was heartbroken and looked to my two remaining cats fro comfort. After a few weeks, we decided the house just wasn't full enough with two cats and so we adopted a kitten from a local rescue group. I was hoping the new kitten would cheer up my now oldest cat Amber. She had been very depressed after losing Tiger and hadn't wanted to do much of anything. Sadly, only six weeks after Tiger passed, I came home from work and found Amber lying on the floor barely breathing. I rushed her to my emergency vet, but she died on the table 30 minutes later. The vet said she had no idea what happened, that it had appeared to be some sort of bacterial infection but she didn't know what. I have a feeling though that she just couldn't go on after losing her best friend. I found some comfort in the thought that at least they are together again. I will forever love you both.
