Wow, how terrible for you to lose both your cats so close together. I am so sorry for your loss! It could be that Midnight is missing her companions. You can get another cat, but I would only get one if you are ready for that. Give her lots of love and attention, and when you are ready to add another cat to your home, I would do that. I hope this helps, and again I'm sorry for your loss.
