from past experience, replace him immediately....your heart will go right out to a new KITTEN and he/she will soon be as close as Leopold was!!
I agree; replace him right away. Our Jackson Catson was on the garage door when it was open. the door was closed and we didn’t realize he was up there. It was a sad scene and we felt so guilty for not realizing that. It took just 17 hours to go to Pet Smart on their week end offereings and find a very nice 10 week old kitten who had been neutered; we paid them a contribution to their foster care program. And Voila-we have a darling cat and still mourn Jackson but it’s so much easier to enjoy and be the home for a kitten who might have been put down had we not adopted him.

I agree, I lost a dog last year that had been with me for fifteen years and I didn’t know a person could grieve so much for an animal. I got another dog immediately and she seemed to sense that I needed comforting. She was a big blessing to me and has helped me get over the pain. I still miss my dog but the new one helped so much and I love her too.
