I may take her to the vet this weekend. She's lost a lot of weight. She's so bony now that her hair sticks straight out from her body (rather than lie flat against the flesh she had). Also, I haven't seen her show much interest in food lately (catnip, yes). I realize she may be depressed that B. left and maybe has lost hope over his coming back (I can sympathize)--he gave her so much attention. But maybe it's more than that and has to be checked out.

Don't wait too long - when an animal stops eating it's a major sign of some kind of health issue..
Thank you.
P.S. I decided today to take her to the vet on Saturday. She won't like it but it has to be. I don't think she's totally stopped eating but she's not thriving as she was and looks like a waif.
P.P.S. Also I want to explain to the vet the changes in living arrangements here as they may have affected the cats. Maybe I should get B. to take Bootsy back and give my cat some peace. I don't know. B's cat appears to be thriving at my cat's expense. He's the dominant male (fixed). My (female) cat is spayed.
