1. what did your vet say about the weight loss/no appetite?
I'm sure it's possible missing a companion could cause some behavioral depression, but that is a pretty big weight loss - I would be wanting some blood work done, I think.

As for a new cat in the house - we are talking CATS, I'd give 50-50 odds it will work or not ;-)
