My parents have had three cats since I was born. [[15 years ago]] Recently two of them died because of old age. My parents got them at the same time and a couple years later they got the third one.
The third one got real close to the other two over the past years and their death has been real hard for her. She's not the same cat she was before. She won't eat right, you have to hold her food in your hand for her to take it. The same with water, she'll go without it unless you hold the bowl. All she does is sleep on the back of the couch and she looks so pitiful. Sometimes she even acts like she's not all there, like she's been drugged or something.
We have a puppy that used to bother her but the puppy kinda grew out of it, so that's not an issue with her being upset.
Does anyone have ANY advice on what to do? How can I make her feel better? I wanna help her so bad but I don't know how.
And yes, she's been to the vet, she says there is nothing wrong with her, health wise.
Thanks (link)

Maybe she misses feline company. When she came into your house she immediatly felt a wave of security from the two older felines. Try to buy her little cat nips, or treats when you see her upset or in good behavior it'll start making her eat way more. I think maybe you could adopt another kitten I mean, to make it feel like it has duty now to care for the young one like your older felines did with her. Try it!

Thanks, but we took her to the vet again a couple days after I asked this question. She had to be put to sleep. It was kidney failure that had developed since the last time she had been. =[ Thanks though.
