Cat with separation anxiety

First pet together

Both cats are ragdolls, but Luna is six months older than Lana. “We found an advertisement for Luna on the internet; she was our first pet together. I had always had Maine Coons when I still lived at home, but this was the first time my boyfriend and I bought a cat together,” Lisette says. - Lisette says. “We really wanted Luna to have a little friend, so we searched for another ragdoll on Facebook. Fortunately, we found someone who had just had a litter.”

Wherever I go, they go

Luna and Lana were able to get along quite quickly, even though Luna didn't really understand what was going on for a few days. "She didn't really know what to make of Lana, but fortunately they are now each other's best friend. They are inseparable," says Lisette.

They are not only best friends to each other, but they also mean the world to Lisette. “They are a big part of our lives. Luna and Lana also helped me through a very difficult time, they really sense when I am having a bad day.”

The cats are always with her, wherever she goes, the cats go with her. “I can't even go to the bathroom without them. The laundry also seems very interesting to me because they always want to be with me when I do the laundry.”

Separation anxiety

Because they mean so much to them, they also feel guilty when they have to be away from home for a few days. It's not that no one takes care of them, but still. "We replaced the windows, so the cats naturally had to go somewhere else. Our friends looked after them. They had the entire attic to themselves! But Luna didn't like it at all, even though we visited every day. She even stopped eating!" - says Lisette.

Unfortunately, this is something many cats experience. Cats can also suffer from separation anxiety. Any small change in their routine can cause this. Dogs show their discomfort by destroying furniture or whining, but cats may stop eating because they feel uneasy.

Lisette and her boyfriend had to look for an alternative because they were planning to go on vacation. “We searched for places where cats were also welcome and eventually found one in Austria. Last summer we took our two cats with us for two weeks and they didn’t mind at all! We took them on walks and they seemed to have a great time, even though they were in a different environment.”

Home sweet home

Luna and Lana can enjoy their own Corner Coon next to the sofa. “It fits perfectly in our interior. We had to buy a sturdy cat tree because the Ragdoll belongs to the category of large cats. A cat tree should not break after a year because the cats use it a lot,” says Lisette. They plan to buy a new one soon. “Maybe a Chartreux will join as well so the cats have more places to scratch and sleep.”
