I found Tigeranne dead Thursday morning

Leeny honey, i feel you. I have had many cats, and with the exception of a few of them going from old age, many passed from the very same mysterious thing –

They seem perfectly fine, and then mere hours later, they have gotten violently ill – they won’t eat, they become lethargic, they seem to ache all over, and they vomit until they meet the end. It’s like speeding down a very fast roller coaster with no brakes, and there’s nothing you can do but watch in horror. I’ve heard this very same thing from someone else, but none of us seem to know what it is. And like you, I too felt like i was dying inside. A few of my babes were just kittens at the time.

I’m so sorry, Leeny. It’s good that you’re having an autopsy to put your mind at rest for Penny’s sake. You don’t say how old Tigeranne is but it may well just be that it was her time. Cats, like all animals, and as you know, will hide feeling sick or ill for as long as possible from as many people as possible, it’s not because they don’t trust you, it’s because it’s genetically programmed into them not to act sick or weak because that makes them vulnerable. That means that it always seems they have gone downhill really fast when the fact may just be that they have been feeling ill for a while but just hiding it so that it comes as a great shock to us. She had a lovely life when she was with you, she had all the love she could want, and she is wept for now that she has gone — that is all she could ever have asked for. I know it doesn’t help the hole in your heart or the raw pain but know that she had a good life, thanks to you, and now she is at peace.

(((Leeny))) I’m so sorry!!! I too know the pain of loosing so many so quickly.. It’s such a real pain and ache in your heart.. As Jcat said it might have just been her time ..

I’m so sorry we’re all here for you Leeny..

I’m so very sorry for your loss Leeny.

Leeny, I’m so very sorry. {{{hugs}}}

I am sorry for your loss. So many things could have happened, please do not think the worst. Be patient and wait until you know–and sometimes we ever know. Even humans that seem perfectly healthy die unexpectedly. I am so very sorry for your pain, and that I wish I could take away. Remember you have people that care and understand your pain and are here to listen and help to the best of our ability. You are in my prayers Leeny.

Sweetie, my cat Daisy devoured Dove dark chocolate covered ice cream bars and lived 18 years. Koko regularly feasted on sisal, and it all passed through his dainty little system. Ruggles, my darling goofy baby, is the quintessential trash eater.

Sometimes some of our lovely cats are more fragile than others. Please don’t blame yourself. You’ve had enough undeserved grief.

Oh, Leeny, I’m so sorry for your loss. Nothing I can say to ease the pain, but I pray that you will be able, in time, to think of all the loving companionship you two shared, and may you and Penny be able to comfort one another in the days ahead. {{{Leeny}}}

Oh honey, my heart breaks for you! I know that RAW pain too well….. I send many comforting HUGS and kisses from my kitties to you and Penny. Awwww so sad and such a shock! I am SO sorry. 🙁
Maybe the same food caused issues for her as poor Buttercup. The symptoms you described sound the same as both my cats just before they died. 🙁 God Bless both of you. XOX

leeny, how did you get the name tigeranne? it is indeed an adorable name….
