Several symptoms of a cat before death

1. Looks listless

When a cat’s life is about to come to an end, it will I often lay still, my sleeping time becomes longer, my waking time is very short, and when I am awake, I look listless. If this happens to an old cat, the owner should pay attention. The cat may not have many days left.

2. Stiff limbs and difficulty walking

Before a cat dies, its body temperature will become low, its limbs will become cold, slightly stiff, and it will be difficult to walk. If you find that your cat is cold, unwilling to move, and even urinates and defecates in its nest, then its life may be about to end.

3. Decreased appetite

Most cats are greedy eaters. Even in their old age, eating is very important to them. But if the cat’s appetite becomes very poor, and even if it is given its favorite food, it shows no interest at all, then the cat is likely to enter the countdown to life.

4. Often hide in corners

When cats live in the wild, when they are sick or injured, they will find a corner to hide in order to avoid being found by natural enemies and die due to their inability to resist. This is the nature of cats, and domestic cats also have this characteristic. If your cat often hides away from you, it means it feels that its body may not be able to support it for much longer.

5. Difficulty breathing

Cats will also have symptoms before death, which is weakened breathing or difficulty breathing. If you find that your cat is breathing very lightly, even opening its mouth to breathe, and the ups and downs of its heart become very weak, and it seems to stop beating at any time, then it may really want to leave you.

6. Run away from home

Cats are very spiritual animals, and many cats will choose to run away from home before they die. Maybe the cat doesn’t want its owner to be sad after seeing it die, or maybe the cat wants to return to nature after death and return to the place where its ancestors lived.
