Our beloved Spike was dead on the lawn when we came home from a few hours visiting today. We got him and his sister Bella in September as tiny kittens so he was only about 5 months old. He was so gorgeous, loving, playful, we all loved him so much. The 2 cats are were very spoilt and spent most of their time indoors but over Christmas we were leaving them outside more and more. We thought it would be nicer for them to roam as they pleased, we live in the countryside and they have plenty of room. Anyway he was dead with no marks on him. I came on the internet for advice as these are the first cats we have owned. It seems he may have just dropped dead from a heart defect from reading posts. Bella misses him, and my 3 children are heart broken, I loved this cat like he was my baby and I am so upset and heartbroken, Could he have died from over-feeding as he loved his food? I feel so guilty, it was our first time to leave the cats out while we went out for a few hours.
