The litter tray

Just found our dear cat outside - she's gone

I'm in shock.
Poor old cat, she's on the patio outside, her mouth slightly open and her eyes staring and slightly sunken. She's on her side, no sign of injuries.
She's getting on for 15.
She's has been fine, maybe eating less than usual the past week, but quite happy. Sleeping in the dog bed all day and with our dogs at night and cuddling up with them whenever she can.
But she didn't come in last night..not that unusual really. And we have just found her now.
I'm so sad. I wonder what happened. Sad

I'm so sorry Sad. It does sound as though her last days (and all of those before) were happy, contented and comfortable. Try to concentrate on that. X

So sorry for you.
She probably went away to die, they do tend to want to be outside to die and at her age, I would think it would just be a natural death of old age. At least you found her, and know what happened to her.
Sorry again xxxx

Oh bless. Perhaps a heart attack? If there are no signs of injury then hopefully she just passed away.

I'm so sorry.

My last boy died in the bedroom suddenly and without warning - he had seemed to be in rude health - one sunny morning while I was down at the front door receiving a parcel. He was 8. I know how it feels.
