A soft body of a cat does not necessarily mean death. It needs to be judged based on the specific situation.

1. The body of a cat that has just died is still soft. Since it has just entered the state of death, its body is indeed soft at this time, which is normal. At the same time, the cat’s body can also be felt. body temperature. After a cat dies, the body will not stiffen immediately, but there will be a step-by-step process. Therefore, the cat cannot judge whether the cat is dead simply by whether the body is soft or not.

2. The cat’s body is soft when it is in suspended animation. When a cat is suspended in limbo, its limbs will be weak, its mucous membranes will turn purple, its tongue will protrude out of its mouth, its breathing will be uneven or panting, its heartbeat will be fast and weak, and it will fall to the ground. However, the cat's body will not become stiff due to this. . If a cat appears to be in a state of suspended animation, it is recommended that the owner perform first aid measures such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation on the cat as soon as possible, and go to a pet hospital for timely treatment as soon as possible.

3. The way to determine whether a cat is dead is to feel whether the cat still has a heartbeat. If the cat's heartbeat has stopped, it means the cat is dead. After a period of time after a cat dies, its body temperature will continue to drop and its body will become increasingly stiff. You can also shine a flashlight into the cat's eyeballs to check if there is still a pupillary reflex.

How to deal with the cat after death:

1. Send the cat to a pet cremation service center to cremate the cat. At the same time, the cat’s ashes can be preserved as a souvenir for the owner. . It can be placed in a jar or bottle, disposing of the cat's body properly without causing pollution, and allowing the cat to continue to accompany its owner. The cremation service center should choose one with a good reputation.

2. You can also choose to bury it. You need to dig the hole deeper to hide it and make it less likely to be smelled by other cats. At the same time, you can also sprinkle some lime on it, which can have an interference effect. Other animals cannot smell it and will not damage the place where the cat is buried.
