I had to put my cat down today. It' is a long story that I really don't have the tears to get into. If you have a cat who doesn't eat anything for more than 24 hrs, and is very sleepy. I beg you to take them to the vet. If a cat doesn't eat fat builds up in their liver, and causes liver failure. The cure is very expensive, and very invasive for the cat with only 85-90% full recovery. My cat was only 3yrs old, and just a little overweight (vets words not mine). You might just save you best friend from sufering, and yourself from a lot of heartach.

I'm so sorry. I know you are in shock. It will help you alot to talk about your cat when you feel you can. Hopefully you will help someone elses cat also. Its the worst feeling in the world to lose a cat so unexpectly. We are thinking about you. Donna

Hi Natalie. *Welcome* to Cats. I'm so very sorry about your beloved cat. It's hard to lose our furkids especially when they are so young.
