I’m so sorry about your cat. Sudden heart failure is a horrible way to lose them. I hope next year treats you better

Thank you. It's still hard to speak about it, but I can write about it, and the journaling is helping. She was pretty active and normal until almost the end, and lived until around 15 to 17 years old. A super senior, and I'm trying hard to take comfort in the fact that she lived a very long, peaceful, and happy life. She started to withdraw and act strangely for only a day or two leading up to her death. Months leading up to it, she seemed fine with only a few wet coughing fits, but it was not every day or even once a week. We assumed it was hairballs. Now we know that if a cat has a wet cough, take them to a vet asap. But even if detected and diagnosed early, heart failure in cats, "with proper treatment, some cats can live for several months to a few years after diagnosis," only. I'm still in a bit of a daze that she's gone. Still looking for her underfoot, almost calling out for her, and staring at her empty chair next to mine. Like most cats, she didn't show any alarming signs at first. Not until Friday evening, November 21st. Her slowing down, sleeping more, and such, we attributed to "she's just getting old." Also, with it being the end of the month, we are very short on money, and when she took an alarming turn, it was after hours, which meant it would be an emergency visit. I caught her paunting. However, since it was brief, for less than a minute before she seemed to rally, we thought come morning, we'd take her to the local vet first thing to see if anything could be done. Or if she was suffering, the vet could help her ease her suffering. "Maybe it's a little respiratory bug, and he can give her an antibiotic shot," I hoped, but nope, it wasn't that. Sadly, the next day, the vet couldn't do much for her except give her a diuretic shot, which would help remove excess fluid accumulation in her lungs. He informed us she's touch-and-go but not suffering, and gave us some diuretics and heart pills to take home to help her out more. We agreed and planned to take her to a vet in a larger town nearby in a day or so. But I suspect that going to even the vet we had in town and the shot he gave her pushed her over the edge, and she passed in the carrier shortly after I placed her gently back into the car.

If I can impart any wisdom from what happened, it would be this: if your cat gets a wet coughing fit, even if they seem fine afterwards, take them to the vet. Don't wait or chalk it up to a hairball, especially if they're over the age of ten.
