On Sunday July 5, my gentle giant CT left us. He was 18 years old. He had a very rough start in life. He was a street cat and he adopted us as a a full grown 2 year old cat, but he only weighed 6 pounds. Over the years we got him healthy, loved him and he became a cherish member of the family. We had 4 cats; Oscar (passed away in 2011) Morris (passed away in 2013) Ct, and Gracie. My husband, me, and Gracie are missing CT very much. We are learning to cope with the loss of CT, although I can still feel him in my arms, wanting my full attention. He always knew when I was having a bad day - he was my "guard cat". Anyway, Gracie is having the hardest time because she is now on her own. We are trying to help her through this time, she is very lonely and at night cries for CT. We are trying to pay more attention to her, talk with her more, take her for walks and car rides, but she is still very sad. Does anybody have any suggestions as to how we can help her through this. I knew that cats had feelings but I never realized that they feel grief like humans do.
