Three weeks ago Lucy lost her best buddie Gus. I'm noticing that as the weeks go on, she's getting more and more obsessed with play time - and less food motivated. When Gus was around, she did everything with him. When he went to eat, she ate, when he went to drink, she drank.
The vet says Lucy is the picture of health - thankfully. So, I'm assuming all of this food/water difficult behaviour is psychological. My inclination is to believe she needs another buddy, she's just to socially-oriented to be OK living as the only cat in the house for much longer.
So here's my question:
Lucy is eight months old. Gus was almost a year old. So, I know that Lucy will get along well with another cat similar in age to her. But I'm wondering what's the maximum age you folks would advise to adopt? Is a two year old cat OK? Is it more just matching behaviours than ages?
Thanks!
