Don't know if i have posted this in the right section but i am just after a bit of advice and guidance.
We had a fantastic day at the OC&B show on the saturday, both cats on a high, and the moggy greeted them both home with a hiss and spit then a kiss. Sunday morning we noticed our moggy Harley was not well, couldn't pass water so after about 5 hours, he was howling in pain, and that started Hemi off as well, howling and a real pityful cry from Harley and also Hemi.
Harley is now in his own vets this morning after going into emergency care on sunday night.
Hemi is the concern at the moment as he wondering around howling, barking, and crying, obviously looking for Harley, Levy is then following Hemi around, thinking that he is poorly,.
Hemi isn't eating much either, so is it that he is also ill. or is he just pinning for Harley....
Hemi is passing water and the other, which is a good sign, but all he is doing as well is when i sit down he is really fussy, which is a bit odd, as he likes his own space, but to sit on my lap is a no no normally.

Harley is not due home until Wednesday, and i was wondering how Hemi will react when he sees him, and vice versa,..
Has anyone had this happen or simular circumstances before,?
Concerned

Hi

Cats going off their food is a problem sign and with his changed behaviour, I would get him straight to the vet for a check up, you cannot assume that he is pining for the other cat without making sure he himself is completely well.

Hi Marie, I would just echo that a trip to the vets may be best. Having lost one of a pair of cats to kidney failure, I remember Casper was lost without his sister for a few days and looked for her everywhere, calling and crying. But he didn't go off his food, if anything he ate much more, and as Harley has been so poorly you never know if Hemi could also be unwell. Keep us posted!

Hi
I would echo the advice from above, I always listen to the experts they have never let me down yet

fingers crossed for you that they are ok & that harley gets better, but definately worth getting the vet's proffessional opinion.

Since posting this morning, Hemi has proceeded to devour his dinner, and try for Levy's. Then run round like a loon with Levy for about half hour chirupping and killing his toys.
Vets have informed me that Harley is doing really well. I asked about Hemi when the vets phoned, and said to monitor him through the rest of the evening, make sure he drinks, eats and toilets, if he is doing all three, which he is, then he is looking for Harley,
Since he had his dinner he has sat by the door looking out, with the occasional glance at us ... like he is asking, 'where's Harls mum?'
Quite sad really.
He hasn't been too vocal as the day has gone on, but he is going to all of harley's spots and seeing if he is there.

oh bless him
it's sounding very promising though if he's eaten, & also great news that harley is doing well! let's hope he'll be back home with you soon & everyone will be happy again
