7. Adopt a new little brother or sister?

We all know how distracting kittens can be--give him something very active to focus his attention on.

When we lost our Pyr girl suddenly (she died at the vet's office), the two boys looked for her for quite awhile. Then, one of the boys got very sick with cancer. We tried really hard to save him for a couple months, before finally putting him down. It was terribly sad for everyone, but the remaining Pyr had time to say goodbye. He still grieved for a long time.

Then, we adopted the new, young Pyr pupster. He has perked up considerably.

Maybe you could try a lick mat for his treats. It might slow him down a bit. japple Jul 2023 #10
