My cats are grieving. How long does cat grief last and how to help?

Question

Recently i made the tough decision to euthenise my 5 yr old tabby due to ongoing stones n crystals. My other 2, his 5 yr ood sister and a 2 year old are grieving as much as i am even though his sister has shown signs of being leader n not as shy as she once was. How long do cats usually grieve and anything more i can do? I talk more and show them tons of affection.

I'm very sorry that you had to say goodbye to your cat! There will be a period of adjustment for them, and it can take a few weeks for that to happen, but they are already showing signs of adjust if his sister is not as shy as before. You are doing the right things by talking to them more and showing them tons of affection. Again, I'm sorry for your loss :-(
