We need one if not.
I just had to put my dog down last weekend.
And its been terrible, but I have noticed my older cat is acting very depressed.
This is not a joke by the way.
I had my black lab for over 14 years and we just ran out of time, he finally just couldnt walk any longer.
We had him on 3 meds for his hips, but it was no longer enough and I could see it in his face last Sunday that he had given his all.
So we took him in and had him put down.
Yes, I cried all day. I am getting choked up just typing this.
Jetta, the cat and he were together all of Jetta's life. Jetta is 8 now. His name is Jetta because thats were I found him, in the back of a VW Jetta that was going to be crushed at the yard I was working at.
Someone had actually locked him as a kitten in the trunk. Luckily someone heard it and we pryed the trunk open and there he was.
Any way, he is just down. He stares at the place next to our bed that Shaft slept and walks through the house poking his head in all the rooms.
I came home the other day, and Jetta would not get off the couch. Laid there until I went to bed. So I picked him up and carried him to the bed and he meowed like crazy.
He is eating, and using his litter box. So I guess he is physically ok. But you can just tell he is not happy.
I have never heard of a cat "grieving".
