They vary between individuals, like they do with people. Cats and dogs, with their differing social needs are not very far from us in genetic sequencing. And human language is very limited in revealing more to us of what is really inside another human and how their emotional life matches up to what we assign each other in our own projections of who the other is. I know of two siameses I grew up with, Turie mourned terribly when her brother Yodi died, spent her time sitting in all his spots, and followed him 3 months later.
Tuxie is cuddling a little more with me on and off, so I think he is seeking the contact he's lost with his occasional comfort seeking with Saki, and it is a little bit of comfort for me when he seeks it. I am keeping an eye on him.
No, I have ended the tribunal. I couldn't risk Saki having a sad slow decline when the surgery could have prevented that and given her more better time. it failed, but we did our best, and it at least prevented the slow wasting away in growing pain. We wrung all the love we could out of the time we had together and I worked very hard to get us there the last 3 years. And that will be a comfort in time. Now it's just the awful ache of missing my Saki joy.

Thank you. And for being here and comforting me.
