Hello, I am new to this forum and decided to join, because I see there are many caring members that are helping each other.
Just two days ago, I had to go through the painful decision to let my kitty Sadie Blue go, as her prognosis with kidney failure was not good at all. She was 15 and was one of those cats that eat too fast and regurgitate the food, it was happening almost every day but the Vet assured me it was normal in some cats. I can not even imagine how many messes I cleaned up over the years, but it was OK.
I have another cat Kia, that is 11 yrs old. Never had a problem in her life, other than being overweight (17 lbs), she doesn't eat much but she is not very active, although I try to make her play.
For the last two days since Sadie is gone, she has been acting normal IMHO, not crying or looking for her, not overly "clingy". She has been eating, drinking and using the litter box as normal, till this morning when she threw up all her food, first time in all her life.
Could it be related to the circumstances, stress or anxiety that is affecting her? She only eats dry food and drinks plenty of water. The only thing I changed is that I took the food dispenser that both cats used to clean it, and put a smaller dish for her food.
Any input will be appreciated. I am just freaking out that sometime is wrong with Kia as well.
TIA
