Hello,
I adopted 2 three month old kittens from the MSPCA back in June; Chase & Ozzy. They were from the same litter. They spent every moment together. They played together, ate together, slept together, and even went to the bathroom together. Well to make a long story short, Chase had to be put to sleep recently due to a very bad infection. It completely broke our hearts! Now Ozzy seems to be very lonely and sad. We have been trying to give him extra love and attention, trying not to expose our own hurt feelings about Chase. He still seems very sad. I am considering getting another kitten to keep him company. Is this a good idea or will it complicate the problem more? I would love to have another kitten in the house! I know 2 cats are always happier than 1. And Ozzy is still very young so maybe he will adjust better than if he was older. But I'm concerned about him. Does anyone have any advice on this? PLEASE HELP!!
