Hi all,
Last night my dear baby boy Halo passed away suddenly, and I am struggling to understand why. He was an older cat - we are not exactly sure of his age as we rescued him. But an approximation would be about 15 years of age.
He was an indoor cat, except for supervised visits to the back yard, and he had not been outside at all this week.
When I got home yesterday, he seemed in a good mood, ate his dinner and curled up on the couch while I watched TV. After watching TV, I filled up their biscuits and he had a few, and went back to the couch. I went and had a shower. After my shower, I came downstairs, picked him up and carried him up to bed. When I placed him on the bed, he could not stand up. I picked him up and put him on the floor, and he stumbled and feel over. He then proceeded to have incontinence and he yowled. I picked him up and carried him into the bathroom and laid him on the floor, where he proceeded to have more incontinence, was in obvious pain, gasping for air and could not stand up. I called my parnter, who called our friend who is a vet, but by the time he got there, our cat had passed away. From the moment I brought him upstairs until he passed, was about 15 minutes.
The vet thinks it may have been a neurological problem as he lost control of his motor function and continence. I am trying to find answers but I just don't know.
I miss him so much. This was so sudden, and unexpected. My other cat ate the same food, and he is not sick. I just don't understand.
The whole thing was so traumatizing.
