Just buried our Vicky girl
We found a place for her down by the holly tree where she used to hang out, taking her ease and possibly lying in wait for the errant rodent. I placed her so that she will face the rising sun and put a toy and a tiny cross in with her, and asked the Creator to accept Her servant Vicky, a shy, gentle friend and good mouser, into Her keeping until I see her again at Rainbow Bridge. Now I'm crying again, dammit.
I'd always thought that Winnie, with her tortietude and loud mouth, was the "boss cat" of our two, but it seems not so. it must have been a big sister-little sister dynamic, besides the fact that Vicky, in the dark, was apparently Winnie's seeing-eye cat, running a few steps ahead of her, then waiting for her to catch up while they walked shoulder to shoulder for a bit. Now Winnie has melted into the woods back of the house and I only catch glimpses of her on the back door cam. How am I supposed to lure her into the house at night when she does this? She doesn't even come around for evening feeds any more.

They most certainly do!
& recommend.
See my thread that I just posted entitled "Lonely kitty".
It sounds like what I've been going through for 5+ long months since my husband died.
If you'd like to know who I got these from, let me know!
Maybe you could pick up a few of them and place them in areas where Vicky used to go?
I'm so sad to read this and my condolences on your special kitty!
Take care Jilly!
Losing our fur kids is so hard.
Keep working on Winnie. She's no doubt confused that her friend is not there.
Please keep trying with Winnie. She is likely grieving and sometimes other species like to go off on their own for a while, perhaps to process things.
