Last week I was forced to put my 2 year old Maine Coon cat to sleep. I had just napped with him, picked him up for a hug and kiss, I put him down, and he was fine. I left the room to get a drink, came back and he couldnt move his back legs. His meows were piercing, his breathing was very heavy. I called my fiance and he rushed home from work at 2am to take us to the 24 hour vet. The doctor told us this was something his breed was known for getting but I was too upset to understand. This is the worst thing I've ever been through, this cat was like my son and I would love to adopt another cat of the same breed in the future, I love their personalities, but I need to know more about this disease. I fed this cat the best foods, gave him more love than anything, played with him constantly, and catered to his every need. The vet said the only way we would have known about this was if we got him an echocardiogram, but even with that, is there is cure? It might be called HCM, but I'm not sure.
