I have very sadly lost my 14 year old Silverpoint Persian (Kleintjie) to cancer about a month ago. Two surgeries had given her a bit more time, but we were thereafter forced to go for the euthanasia option due to the location of the new tumor and how agressive her cancer was.
Her half sister (Grumpy, a Chinchilla) is still crying out and looking for Kleintjie ! We bought them together from the same breeder as kittens all those manyy years ago - they had the same dad but different mums. Grumpy is only happy if I'm there to constantly give her cuddles and groom her, and she sleeps on my chest of my cushion with me.
I'm seriously considering getting a kitten again, in the hope that it will help Grumpy to forget her friend of a life-time, or at least focus her on something else. I've just seen some Maine Coone cats advertised and they look gorgeous! Because we've also got 2 dogs (a Staffie and a Shih Tzu) I think it may be the perfect choice as they seem to be very sociable with other pets.
Do you think I should go for a Chinchilla/Persian again, or would Maine Coone be a good choice?
Thanks in advance for any input.
