I'm soooo sorry to hear this (((( Red will need extra attention for a
while. I would think about leaving the television or radio on too, while you
are out. Eventually you will want to introduce a new companion. I just feel
awful for both you and Red My deepest condolences.

Hi all,

I lost Seven yesterday after a blood clot formed and blocked off the blood
supply to her legs causing paralysis in three legs on Saturday. The vets
thought it would be kinder to help her on her way than to attempt any more
treatment yesterday after she ran into further complications of renal
failure. All very sudden and distressing, but leaves me with another
problem.
Seven's mum disappeared when the kittens were a week old, so they had to
be
hand fed, and Red was brought in as a slightly older kitten so they would
have interaction from another feline, as the couple of older cats we had
were less than friendly toward the little ones.
So they've been together for six years, and now Red is on her own. She's
taken to sitting on the sill and calling for Seven from the window where
they used to come in and go out, and is seeming to do a lot of checking
around the house in the places Seven used to snooze.
Red is fine when there's company in the house, but I have to go to work,
and
am worried about her being left on her own at the minute as she doesn't
really understand what's happened. I did go to be with Seven at the end,
and
thought perhaps Red might pick that up from the smell of my hands, but i'm
not sure that it made much difference.
Does anyone have any idea's on what i can do to make things any
easier/better for her, or is all i can give it just time?

Cheers,
D.
