Thanks again everyone. Your words have been really helpful. It is getting easier day by day to accept her. She has become more affectionate and cuddly too. I will continue to keep my expectations in check and try to just enjoy her opening up over time.

Thank you. It was definitely hard at first because she was so scared that she wouldn't eat. She had volunteers at the shelter that she trusted, and cat friends in her room, and it felt horrible at first to tear her away from everything she had ever known. I very seriously considered taking her...

Thank you everyone for your wonderful words. I am happy to hear that these kind of feelings are pretty normal. I will just try not to think too far ahead or behind and let things work themselves out. Yes I think I am still in a lot of grief, more than I realized. It probably would have been...

I lost Paulo about three months ago now. He was my soul kitty and we were very close. He would cuddle with me all the time and look right into my eyes with love and give me nose kisses. He needed me so much. And then so suddenly he was gone, after 8 years. He left behind Yuki, his littermate and...

Yes I sometimes think about how much time he might have had had I not taken him to the vet that day. My vet actually called that Friday, and I didn't respond until Saturday, and that day they suggested taking him to the e-vet but at the time I thought they were being a bit dramatic and waited...

Thanks to all of you, your words help a lot. Yes I don't think Paulo would want me to be sad. He loved me with all of his heart, I was the world to him. He would want me to love and care for myself as much as he did. Although I know that sometimes, being kind to oneself means taking it easy and...

Hi everyone, I made my account here to ask about my precious boy who was taken from me nearly 5 weeks ago at only 8 years old, my wonderful Paulo who was my first and only soul cat. At the time, no one could figure out why he was acting so strange. We did a CT scan and discovered a brain tumor...

Thank you. It had actually probably started months previous. Like I was saying, after I moved in March, he never really "bounced back" like he used to after moves. Another symptom I forgot is that a few months later, he started throwing up more and struggling more with hairballs. Then after...

Just wanted to update...The vet called a few days ago and asked about him. I told them what was going on and they got very serious. Long story short, he ended up having a brain tumor and is now gone. There was nothing we could do, it was just his time. I miss him so much, he was an incredible...

Thank you for the response. He does not have any interest in toys anymore. He gets upset at them. He won't climb perches very often anymore either, he just wants to hide under things. Sometimes he enjoys petting and will purr but then he'll crawl away. It's like he doesn't enjoy anything but...

Hi everyone! I've lurked this forum for a long time but hadn't thought to make an account until now. I have a very strange and sad situation with one of my cats and I really need help. So, I have two cats, Paulo and Yuki. They are 8 years old. They are littermates and have always been together...
