I [24M] just lost my first [3F] cat last week. My cat was perfectly healthy until two weeks ago when she underwent what seemed like a seizure. Luckily I was there for it and took her right to the vet. He said she looked good and to bring her back if it happened again and to look out for potential signs. She seemed normal up until last week when I was awoken in the middle of the night with a scream. I immediately jumped up and rushed to my cat but she was already on her way. I tried CPR and mouth to mouth to get her breathing again but nothing worked. I buried her later that day in a nice spot near the lake. Vet said she likely had a heart condition which was just a matter of time. I’m am absolutely devastated and still in denial. I raised that cat from 6 weeks old and she was the sweetest and kindest soul I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting in a cat. I feel like the last three years I’ve been so worried trying to keep her safe from the world and then I lose her to a rare birth disorder. I feel so helpless and defeated, it’s hard to believe that I will never hear her meows again. I just wish there was something I could’ve done to help her. I actually got a second cat for her as she had separation anxiety when I was gone. Don’t get me wrong I love my second cat, but now she just reminds me of my first cat, who was the perfect cat. She was my sweet girl and none of this feels real to me. But the house is so empty without her here. I don’t mean to sadden others with my life but I feel so lost without my girl. She was my first pet and I did everything I could to keep her healthy and safe, but now I just feel like I failed her as a parent. And now my second cat who basically was raised by my first cat, is all alone for the first time in her life. I’ve heard her call out for my first cat multiple times and it just breaks my heart. She hasn’t left my side since she’s been alone. I honestly have no idea what to do. But I’ll always love you cat
