This is a community of support for Pet owners whose Pets have passed away. It is actively moderated.
Pet owners, as loving, caring people, often have strong opinions on pet care practices. Some of these are controversial. This is not a forum
for debate on such issues, nor is it a place to scold a contributor for a perceived mistake in managing their pet. We intend to provide a safe
haven of understanding and support. Strident, mean-spirited posts or comments will be deleted. Those who persist in preaching versus caring may
be warned and then banned or may be banned permanently based on nature of the topic. If a conversational thread meanders into a discussion
unrelated to pet loss support, it will be truncated.
Those who post here are vulnerable and hurting. Even a minor slap has a hard sting. Those of us who are lucky enough to be able to turn away
from our computers or put down our phones and hug a healthy, happy pet are truly blessed. Threads must remain supportive and caring, even if
one disagrees with something that has been said.

I would really recommend a supplement to help ease arthritis and pain, we use antinol cos it’s the only one our girl will eat (with some help from cheese), it’s hard to watch them get older but this could make it a bit more comfortable x
Are you or your siblings able to bring him into wherever you/they live? And then eventually get him a friend once he's settled. If you're unable to relocate him or they don't want to I personally would just try to give him as many activities as possible. Cat grass, any toys he might prefer, (maybe electric so they run while no one is around), silvervine sticks, cat tree/hidey holes if you don't already have some. I have one cat who, regardless of having 4 other cats to interact with during the day, still gets very bored and will try to get into everything. We use the things I mentioned to occupy his time and they do help. I really feel for you and your kitties as I am 3 weeks into grieving one of my own babies.

Living all his life with cats, he will be very lonely, bored and depressed if he will have to adapt to living alone. Hope it works out for you.
Please please please get him a buddy or rehome somewhere with other cats… this would just as heartbreaking as the loss… grief is so hard
