Two days ago I had to put my cat (Pepper) to sleep. He just flopped over and started this awlful meowing. It was soo sad..
It appears he had FIDS. As such I will need to get his brother tested just incase in was passed on to him as well; although he seems fit as a fiddle.
I know the cat (Rusty) that I still have misses him dearly. He is requesting more attention, and meowing for him day and night. He is desperatly trying to get outside (inside cats) to look for him. Other than that he is doing great! Thank goodness, we all were pretty upset, but knew that Peppers time was coming to an end. We may have only had him for three years but Three years was not long enough.
Rusty is easy going, since day one whenever he sees another cat he starts cooing and scratching at the window to get their attention..."LOOK AT ME, WILL YOU PLAY WITH ME?!?!?" I have not worked outside the house until just last month. I don't want to put Rusty through any extra stress, but with his brother gone and with me off to work now too....I don't know. I know that I will be getting him a playmate at some point and he will be happy.
My biggest problem is finding him the right playmate. This ALPHA male is three years old, male, neutered, and extremley playful. Should I stick with a male, would the new male (if kitten) spray before I neuter.
I know I can never replace his brother but any suggestions. Thank
