Actually you never do really get over it. Not when they're part of your family. There are times when I don't think about them and other times, something will bring them to mind. They were loved and they are missed.
He loves you now. He's just not totally dependent on you anymore. That's a good thing. I'm glad you got him his own "baby". The next time you have to leave home for a period of time it won't be so hard on him and on you!
Tippy had a pink fuzzy pompom that he did the same thing with it. Had it in his mouth and sang to it. A couple of minutes or more and than that was it. Sometimes we had repeat performances during the night. I miss it.
At 5 am or so Ole will start up with with the most god awful howling you have ever heard. My alarm is set for 6 but I don't know why I even bother. By the way,

In fact, if they haven't joined me after 5 minutes I call for them to join me. When I do the Girl's Weekend and I'm sleeping by myself it's just not right.
@jkuras You never mentioned if he had been neutered or not. Also, patience is going to be key here. New home, new smells, new sounds, new human and the list goes on. The cat i brought in last October still will not go in front of the couch when the TV is on. When it's off no problem. Which...
