No vanity tags for me.. I like to lay low
I just got off the phone with the vet. Apparently he died of a bloot clot. The one side of his heart muscle was thicker than normal and the clot broke free and got stuck in his aorta and that is why he passed away. The vet said that the heart problem was hereditary. He advised that if I had more than one cat from the litter I should follow up with a pet cardiologist. I feel a lot better knowing that he didn't suffer and he didn't have any pain. I would have never forgiven myself if it was something happened to him that I could have prevented. So even with the routine care he had it couldn't have been prevented. My other cat Alexis hasn't left my side. It just takes time I guess.
Sorry for your loss, Lexi. We have a sick dog, Pepper, who has had heart problems since she got us. It recently has been getting worse, we just out her on a new heart med yesterday, Pimabendan (Vetmedlin). It seems to allready be helping, this is in addition to the Lasix, enalapril, and (2nd diretic that i cannot remember the name of).
I am not surprise that your other cat(s) are sticking very close to you, I am sure they miss Spot-kitty too.

I was just talking to my parents. My dad suggested that I should get another cat in a couple of weeks. Thats really the last thing I want to think about now. I think it's a little to soon to be thinking about getting another cat. I guess he was only trying to make me feel better.

Sorry for your loss. As hard as it is, I'm glad the vet had an answer for you.
I know it's a little soon and nothing could replace your kitty, but I know a pair of two year old kitties (brother and sister) who have to leave their home because of a family illness.

Lexi, do you know where any of his siblings are living? If so you might want to give their owners a heads up on what happened. That way they can get their kitties taken care of. Just a thought. Also I know it's too soon to think about another kitty, but another kitty might make it easier on your kitty who is alone now. I hope you feel better soon. Thank goodness he didn't hurt, he just went to heaven in his sleep.

I don't know where we got spot from. A friend of ours got it from their babysitter. I got spot in July 05, so its fair to say that he was born in april or may of 2005. I asked my friend about who he got him from. He doesn't remember their name. The only thing I can tell everyone is just get it checked out. I've thought about it I would like to get another cat. The rest of my family is against it right now. I'll post a pic of spot and then at least people will see what he looks like . Thanks everyone for your thoughts and hugs. Believe me it's very appreciated
