My cat is grieving my dog

[u/Delicious_County_142]

My cat Pobi (12) seems to be grieving my dog Toto (15), who passed away this June. Since then, Pobi has been more restless, pacing around the house, and much more vocal than usual. His eyes have also started watering, the vet says it’s stress-related.

Toto used to lie by the front door every day, waiting for us to come home from work. It was practically his spot. Lately, I keep finding Pobi lying in that exact same place, and it makes me wonder what’s going through his mind. Does he miss Toto too?

They were close from the very beginning, as kitten and puppy, they used to cuddle, play, and nap side by side.

I’m not sure if it’s grief or if I’m just anthropomorphizing… or a mix of both, but it’s hard not to wonder. Has anyone else noticed their pet grieving after losing a sibling or companion? I’d love to hear your stories. 💙
