We had a black cat that turned 21 years old in March. Sadly it passed away in April. We were supposed to take it to the vet to put it down since he had been suffering for the past week, so when we went around looking for him we found him curled up under the porch in his favourite sleepingspot.
We also had another black and white cat that we had to put down a few weeks ago. We noticed he stopped eating and did nothing but walking aimlessly around the house all day. So we took him to the vet and he told us it had jaundice. Total liver failure. There was nothing we could do. I guess I should tell everyone to check your cat once in a while to see if there is any yellow coloring in its skin, gums and underneath the paws, since it could be a sure sign that its liver might be failing. Dunno if its treatable though.
