- I've known a few cases. Seems to be the custody of the nineties.
- Not that they fight over it. They seem to be more adult here
- than with respect to custody of kids. Go figure.

- Usually each cat will need more attention. Clearly some cats take it
- harder than others. I know one case where it was reported that
- neither cat appeared to notice the other one was gone. In other cases
- it appeared to stress the cat considerably. It's the same as if one
- cat dies, the other one is just gone. So the care called for is also
- similar, give lots of attention, watch for weight and behavior change,
- consider getting another cat.
