Not necessarily. There are many cats that have been diagnosed with heart
conditions that have shown none of these symptoms, and there have been
posts here in the past from people who had no idea their cats had a
heart problem until they found them dead. Sometimes the only symptoms of
a heart condition are panting and/or fast shallow breathing, which is
exactly what happened in Omar's case. In all other respects he acted
normal.

"Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one
elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and
splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then
providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and
material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his
way."

- W.H. Murray
