Two years ago I took in an 8 week old kitten someone had dumped in a field. I tried to adopt her out, but she remained incredibly skittish and terrified of all people except me so I kept her.
She was healthy and happy and a loving companion to my other feral cat. She had no sign of the slightest thing wrong with her - ever.
Last October 13 I got up and found her dead on my sofa. She was lying in a comfortable curled position and showed no signs of any distress or pain.
I was totally devastated and had her cremated and her ashes returned to me.
I asked my vet what could cause instantaneous death in a seemingly healthy two year old cat. She told me cardiomyopathy could be the cause.
I am still upset about this and wish I had done a necropsy. Has anyone else ever had this happen and if so, what caused it?
