Now, this is somewhat hard to explain, but.
my old cat bk had died back in September in 2017, but she died sometime in the night so neither my mother or I noticed her until she was already, way too far gone.
But we're unsure of how she died.
Her neck was tangled in cords, but it was sitting at a weird angle. we also noticed a lot of discharge (brownish, reddish fluid) had poured out of her nose and mouth.
we're not sure if she choked, or had broken her neck. neither of us had the nerves at the time to try and feel around her neck for breaks.
but the cord was tight enough that one wrong move could've very well snapped her neck especially at the angle she seemed to be at, and I had heard meowing that night, which i doubt I would've heard if she had been choking. (and before you say i'm a horrible person for not checking on her due to this, bk would often times meow at night, for usually no reason, almost every night.)
we do have reason to believe she was already near death, due to her... very odd behavior that day. (which included: spending quite a while behind the curtains by the window, laying there. She would not come out to be pet or anything. But after that she spent a good while walking in a circle on my mother's feet while she was sitting at the desk, no laying down or sitting, just her walking in small circles.) she also had off breathing for about 2 years, though because of our financial situations, we were never able to get her checked out.

It's clear that you cared for her very much. Such a sad loss, I hope you are able at some point to find comfort in happy memories of your time together.
