A few weeks back we lost our adorable Otis. Literally, he just was not in the apartment when I got home one night. I'm hoping he got out and is living in someone else's apartment. We put up fliers but they were taken down. It's really broken my heart because I got so attached to him so quickly.
In the meantime Bella is really suffering. She didn't like Otis at first because she had never been around another cat. But she got used to him, and right before he disappeared they were really getting along.
Now she cries for him. I think she smells him and starts looking for him. Her wailing is so sad to listen to.
I want a kitten so she won't be intimidated by the size of an older cat. I think a baby will be just what she needs to keep her company, and to teach her how to take care of it. Female or male, fixed or not, I need to get a baby for my cat (and me). Up to about one year is fine. We aren't picky. HELP!
