cat help, owner passed away

I didn't know if Doc Troy came in or anyone had thoughts about death of an owner and multiple cats.

When my daughter passed away last week she left behind her Cat children. Scarlett 8-F, Dehilia 7-F, and Samson, 5-M years old. I have them up with me. They were at my home,when she was in hospitals and the odler two have walked in the summer with ehr and even slept on my lap. As soon as I walked in her door they came loving me up as a second Mom. So part is OK that they know me and the family.

They must miss her though, they stayed downstairs several days, cry at the steps and I ahve to carry them up. Except for Samson, he is hiding. He is skitzy. When she was in the hospital last year he was here a few weeks, Rarely came out. When I went to take hime home, he clawed my chest accidently, so frightened.

But, I wonder how do cats grieve, when they come up meowing at the steps and looking towrd their home are they looking for her. Will they adapt. I have two cats, Kitty 15 year male and Tigger the man, hunter M, 12 yrs old.

Tigger is in love with scarlett, she down't not return affection. He stole a kiss, he gives low sweet rolling purr to her. SHe is like no way sir, lol. Scarlett and Mr Kitty are walking together, sitting together. All cats fixed.

I am overwhelmed wiht their care, I need a scond of everything, litter maid, water fountain bowl, food. I don;t know how I will afford them, I think of finding Sammy a home with a single person that he will not be so skitzed from activity, but he will miss his sisters. He is aggressive to thme in his own home and it was getting harmonal with him all along.

I hate when you get attached and they pass to. Last year I lost my oldest a cat over 20.

ANy thoughts,
Dianne
