Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / February 20055 month old kitten suddenly dies
on 2/1/05, my five month old kitten suddenly at 700 am started to shake and fell on its side and then suddenly died. It was instantly. i was very shocked. i know he did not have food in its mouth. it was playing around right before this happened with the other kitten. any ideas what could have happened. the kitten was 5 mnonths old and was bigger than a normal 5 month old kitten would be. no problems before this happened. thanks for your help chris > on 2/1/05, my five month old kitten suddenly at 700 am started to shake and > fell on its side and then suddenly died.

I don't think you can know unless you have a necropsy done, but it was probably a problem that you could do nothing about. So so sorry to hear about the little one. I would certainly call the vet to ask about it or to find out what they suggest. I would want to make sure it was not a spreadable disease or what for the other kittens. How terrible and very sad. Especially as he was so very young. It's could have been anything that caused it and without the cat equivalent of a post mortem you will never know. It is likely that he had a condition that perhaps you would never have been able to prevent - possibly a heart problem? It can only be guessed at. The only comfort perhaps is that he lived his short life to the full and was very much loved. No cat could ask for more. regards sarah I am so sorry for you kitten, If you can afford it why not do a necoropsy (I know that is spelled wrong, sorry)it is the best way to put your mind at rest, but take comfort in knowing what a wonderful life you had given this little one. Candles will be lit this evening for safe passage to the RB and purrs to you and the little ones play mate.
