3 year old cat just passed away

hi guys my partners family cat just died today, I was only playing with her last night she was such a gentle kitty. seems today she was just playing around all normal and she went to lie down upstairs in one the bedrooms and after half hour my partner went up to call her and poor cat was just lying on the bed eyes open tongue out, warm but dead.

we gave no idea how, his family is so upset

I'm so sorry, what an awful shock and I would be devasted.

This might help you, my own thoughts lean towards heart disease but there are other possible reasons too. It sounds as if she had a wonderful three years of life with his family; all I can tell you is that so many, many cats are not as fortunate and she was truly a lucky kitty to be so loved and minded.

Does the cat go outside? Could it have been poisoned?

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but I don't think what you said is appropriate or helpful.
Please don't post om this thread again.

You could request an autopsy from the vet. I don't like not having answers and poison shouldn't be left out anywhere larger animals could access it. But a healthy cat should not have just dropped dead. Surely a weak heart should have been detected by the vet during a check up...

I'm so sorry to hear about such a young cat dying. What an awful shock to get. Unless they do go down the road of an autopsy you may never know what caused it, it may be better to focus on the 3 years of good life and care the cat had with a family who cared for her and to take some comfort from that.

that is so upsetting. i'm so sorry.
did the cat go outdoors, if so is there any chance it was poisoned as others said?
it sounded like such a loved little kitty. my sympathies.

thank you for the kind posts , she was buried out in the back garden , I think it would of been too hard on them to have got an autopsy on her she barely went outside only for a few mins a day .
