Sad cat
I've always had 2 cats, star and her son fluffy but a few weeks ago Star was run over and killed. Since then fluffy has been very withdrawn. He's still eating but he used up be really lively and happy but now he goes upstairs and stays there most of the day. I try and give him lots of attention but he doesn't respond as much which is sad because he was the most affectionate cat I've ever had Is there anything I can do or do you think he'll come round soon? I just hate seeing him like this, he's really lost a little spark that he had.

You can read lots of accounts on here from people who have lost a cat and how their remaining cat reacted. Many of them got over their loss, and hopefully it'll be the same for your cat Fluffy. Others, like my boy Shadow, don't come to terms with it and then it may be an idea to get another cat - it worked for me. But I wouldn't rush into making a decision like that until both you and Fluffy have had time to grieve for Star and then decide if it is the right decision for you.
