Last Sunday, Momo left to have a coffee and he didn’t come back. We looked for him, we called him, but we didn’t find him. We waited for him outside until late hour, and he wasn’t still there. Claire explained us that he had had an accident, and that he would not come back home before several weeks.
The sudden absence of a close relation is very disturbing for us ; here are some ideas to help us to stand it :
- Speak to your cat ; explain him what takes place.
- Express your feelings : we know perfectly the way you feel, and we are even more disturbed if you try to hide it.
- As possible, and if circumstances allow it, modify the least possible our usual routine : it will secure us.
- Do not forget us : we need cuddles and we need to play with you.
- Do not forget yourself : eat correctly, sleep as good as possible, and take care of you. We need you !
Great info guys…our pets are sort of used to Fozziedad going away for work..the pups may sit at night by the door and wait..i say “back soon” and they relax..it is very hard and you do need to be aware that the animals feel the change very much..we send still our purrs and loves for Momo…much love Fozziemum xxx
these are great things to remember….we hope Momo is doing better and able to get home soon to some super kitty nursing
That is very good advice .
It is important to look after yourself and those around you.
We purr very hard that Momo is getting better and does not hurt so much.
Purrs Georgia and Julie,

wonderful advice. Since you still have Momo around, maybe bringing home something that smells like him might help.
Mum thought of it, but for the moment he doesn’t wear anything purrsonal she could bring home ; he’s only allowed to wear that ugly hospital shirt ! Purrs

My human’s boyfriend takes lots of trips to play shows. I miss him, but not too much since Binga and Boodie are always so sure he’s coming back.
Peeps sometimes forget about us and we know when someone is missing and we get scared. We are so sorry for Momo’s accident and say a wee prayer for him. Take care all of you.

That’s some good advice. We’re purring for Momo and hoping he makes a full and quick recovery. You two look good on your new blankie. 🙂
That is good advice. I hope Momo is healing well.
Very important information. Kitties are very sensitive to change and know when something is wrong.We are praying for Momo.
Gosh, you must be missing Momo so much and your tips for comforting kitties are excellent. Do you have some clothing with his scent so you can be comforted by it? Along with explaining things, your mom might also try petting you and picturing Momo being away but safe and wanting to come home soon. Some people believe that animals can sense those images and energy and it will help them understand what is going on.
I’m sorry to hear about the accident. I hope he will be ok.
Mommy felt sick when she saw the photo of the car Momo was driving–what a terrible wreck. We have had him in our thoughts, and we purray he’ll be home sooner than later.
This is great advice. After I was in this condo a week, Pop had back surgery and didn’t come home for 7 days. That’s when I started bullying TW. When Pop came home, I never left his side until he went back to work 6 weeks later.
Grrreat advices !
Hope that Momo can come home quickly !
Sending lots of (((purrs)))

Very good advice. Cats are very sensitive.
Healing thoughts and purrs to Momo xx

That is really good advice, sending good thoughts and prayers Momo’s way for a quick and complete recovery with ease. We know you kitties must be missing him very much.
Wonderful advice. It is hard on us kitties when a loved one is gone for a long period of time. We are sending warm wishes, prayers, and purrs to Momo! He will be home before you know it!
Very important to remember us as we will be there to help with keeping the injured feeling better once they return home. One of our Angels, Inky, told me and Toby about when Dad came home after his bad accident and all he could do was sit. Having Inky and Stinker there to purr him calm really helped.
Purrs and Prayers for Momo

Very good advice! We’re purring and praying for Momo to return to you very, very soon!!
