My cat died last night. Heart attack?

My sweet wonderful cat died last night. He has had a heart murmur for
years and I suppose that's what did it but I'm not sure. He was
perfectly fine. He was standing next to me in the kitchen begging for
food when he suddenly jumped up, crashed into a wall then keeled over.
He moaned very loadly for about two minutes and then he died.

Does it sound like a heart attack?
He was the sweetest cat that ever lived. I'm heart broken.

I am so sorry for your loss, When ever I hear of a sweet furrbaby pasing it brings me to tears. Purrs coming from my
bunch for a safe trip to the rainbow bridge and the
you will find peace.

I am so sorry to hear about your cat.

From what you say it could possibly have been a heart attack or a sudden
thrombosis leading to it.

My cat died suddenly last year aged 4. He had a mild heart murmur. However
one day he just collapsed and his back legs went. The vet said he had the
cat equivalent of DVT (the thing you can get after being on an aircraft for
ages?).

It is completely unpreventable and usually occurs without warning. I hope
you can take some comfort in knowing that there was nothing you could have
done differently to prevent what happened. Wrapping him in cotton wool and
restricting his lifestyle would not have made a difference.

Please take some comfort from the fact that your cat had an enjoyable and
happy life, albeit a shorter one.

I know exactly how you are feeling right now and my thoughts are with you.

Oh, how awful for you! I am so sorry about your kitty.

When my cat Madeline died suddenly, the vet said that it was probably a
heart attack or stroke, I suppose that is the cause of most sudden deaths.

I'm sorry for your loss. It's very difficult to lose a dear friend.

Sounds very similar to what happened to my sister's cat and the vet did
think it was a heart attack. I'm really so so sorry to hear of your loss.

That's very sad. Sounds like maybe he suddenly went into unconsciousness
prior to sudden death and had a hallucination which caused him to jump like
that. At least you were right there with him. There would have been
nothing you could do.

Of course I don't look busy,
I did it right the first time.

I have no idea what it could have been, but Memphis and Phoenix send purrrs
and hugs. I have not been owned for very long, but would be heartbroken if i
lost one of mine.
With sympathy,

Oh, I'm so terribly sorry! I have no supposition about why your
wonderful kitty died, but I wanted to say I was sorry.

My youngest, Francis, who is going in to be neutered on Friday, has a
mild heart murmur, too, although an ultrasound revealed no obvious cause
for it. It will break my heart when he dies.
