It's never easy losing a fuzzy friend.
Just remember that you made each others lives better for the love and companionship you shared.
The pain we feel will lessen but, the love is forever.
Run free Wilson.

Cat heart problems are heartbreaking. I just lost my heart cat a few months ago to late stage heart disease at 7

I’m so sorry for you and OP. Losing a baby is never easy. If it’s not too intrusive, would you mind sharing what some of the symptoms were so I know what to look out for in my kids?

u/readingfairy17 Feb 07 '25
Yes 🙌 loosing a baby is hard.
I raised him since birth, so I noticed that when I held him, his heart beat was noticeably faster than the other kittens. I brought him to the vet, and they said to monitor it in the next year because they said sometimes kittens can have faster heartbeats. So then after a year we had moved houses and the move required a long drive and it took a huge toll on him and I noticed he was laying in the same spot a lot and only getting up for food and bathroom breaks and that was after I noticed when bring him the new place for the first time, he started panting. That prompted another vet visit and he was diagnosed with a Heart Murmur. They said that because his heart was over working so hard that he would probably have a shorter life than a normal cat, and that meds might help and that I would need to take him to a veterinary cardiologist which at the time I couldn’t afford. So I just did my best to keep him stress-free and comfortable. Closer to the end of his life he was again fatigued. He was always on the thinner side so I started beefing up his diet with fish like canned salmon, tuna, and sardines, low sodium water based of course. He has started having wheezing fits, which I mistook for reverse sneezing but I think was asthma. We ended up having to choose to put him down because heart disease is deadly and it’s basically untreatable. He lived a long life considering his prognosis. Definitely talk to your vet if you suspect anything with the heart and lungs. I had him on a blood pressure medication for a while but again it couldn’t do too much to help, and it was a risk to his liver to keep him on it long term

Of course! It’s not common knowledge with cats and we gotta keep the kids healthy!

Never thought I would be saying this or even believe it was true, but my fur babies after crossing the rainbow bridge have made their presence known. Their tiny orbs flash through my home and are one reason I have gone from believing in nothing to “there’s more”. Talk to Wilson. It’s evident he knew love.

I am so sorry for the loss of Wilson! 😭💔 He was such a regal, handsome fellow! I had a very healthy and wonderful orange tabby, age 5, who passed very suddenly from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. It is absolutely heartbreaking, especially at such a young age for them. I know Wilson was safe, loved, and perfectly cared for, and he knew it, too 🩷🩷🩷

I’m so sorry for your loss. My cat would never let me put anything on him, doesn’t even like wearing a collar but I’m kinda jelly that your Wilson let you put a bow tie on him.
