I need some advice real quick. In July, I adopted 2 kittens from my local area shelter. Everything going great so far. I began to let kittens out on my 2nd floor balcony during the day to have a dose of "outdoor" life. These 2 kittens/cats are playmates and they slept together every night. One of the cats escaped from the balcony (apparently) and I'm guessing somebody picked him up and took him home. Both of my shelter kitties have a micrchip implant and I have yet to receive a phone call from anyone regarding a lost cat.
Here's the problem. The younger "brother" to the runaway cat seems to be having an emotional reaction to all of this. He's sleeping a whole lot. Once quiet, he now meows all day long. He follows me every single step during the day.
I have been giving him extra attention and affection but worry that he will become accustomed to all day attention and not stop the meowing. What should I do? I feel like he misses his brother and is going through some very trying times. I need to know how to handle this situation, can anyone relate to my recent loss?
