Question
This is about my orange tabby male cat. It all started with an abscess on his leg. We got him antibiotics, and cleaned it and everything seemed to be getting better. Then he started peeing on everything... we thought he was acting out. Mad because we have a puppy and are in the middle of a move. I called my vet and she said he was just really upset. It never got any better. I found him sleeping in his kitty litter box and when my boyfriend took him out he laid him on the chair and he meowed like her was hurting.. he had a little bit of a bump in his tummy and his teeth were clenched together and black... his gum's were white and he was twitching kind of. Then he just went limp and died... I just don't know what could have happened.. we did everything we could have done for the poor boy. Please if there is anything you can tell me to give me peace of mind I will be forever grateful. Thank you.

Answer
I am so sorry that I cannot give you any ideas of what may have caused his death. Sometimes we just need to remember the great times and move on. Maybe a poison?

Your peace of mind will come from accepting that we all have to die some day, and sometimes it is sooner than we want. You lovely tabby is having a great time on his next adventure, and wants you to be happy, not sad. Live for and enjoy the moment as I can tell you did with your tabby.
