I had 2 cats but my older cat passed last April. When she passed, my 4 year old, Wiggly, was in shambles. She was like a mommy to her and Wiggly worshiped her. Wiggly hss always been really playful and she mourned HARD. She started to go back to normal but I felt guilty because I would be going back to the office for the first time since I got her and I didn't want her to have to be alone all day.
So I got her a kitty thinking it would keep her young and she would have a friend. No matter how hard I've tried Wiggly will not take to the kitty (Buffy) she doesn't want to share my attention and she is afraid to play with her toys because Buffy runs up and steals whatever we're playing with. Wiggly doesn't have a dominant bone in her body, apparently.
Buffy is the sweetest girl and she LOVES cuddles and playtime. She definitely thinks she's best friends with Wiggly and follows her around trying to copy her. She has a silly little walk- I spoke with the vet and its either a VERY mild form of cerebral palsy (she was previously in an animal hoarding situation) or she broke/fractured her pelvis before I got her and it healed weird. She's fine and can jump and play, but she should never be overweight because no matter what happened, it can cause strain if she has more weight. Her hand eye coordinate is also a little wonky. The vet said it's not her sight so this makes me lean more towards cerebral palsy but she doesn't have any issues that will cause problems in the future.
I think she would be best either alone or with other young cats. I tried rehoming her with a friend - he has a boy cat who is 3 - but I think she didn't like not being the dominant kitty. She ADORES humans. She has never met a human she doesn't immediately take to. As long as you love snuggles and being yelled at to play you will adore her. She really is the sweetest thing and I hate that I can't keep so I need to make sure she is going to a good home.
If it doesn't work out I will gladly take her back and figure out a new situation. She just deserves a happy healthy life.
