Other then kidney failure, there is nothing that would take down a cat so quickly. Kidney failure occures after vaccination, and due to poisoning. The fact that they both died so close to each other would indicate poisoning. If they lost movement in the rear end, it was apparently something that affected their nervous system. Only toxins will do this. Again, vaccinations can be toxic to some animals. Although it's not common, it can happen. Something was toxic to them. It's in the house somewhere if they were not vaccinated within the last couple of weeks. Vaccines are live viruses. If other cats were vaccintated, and they wern't they could have caught one of those virusus. Feline lukemia, parvo, leptosperosis, etc. I hope all the other cats fair ok. What a shame. My heart goes out to your boss.

hi. If that's the only symptom, do no longer panic! Even indoor cats can consume issues they might desire to no longer, and the urge for foodstuff is a sturdy sign. What i've got carried out interior the previous is attempt to withhold foodstuff for type of 8 hours. If this has been happening a pair days, i could nonetheless attempt it yet of direction make advantageous water is accessible. Then i could initiate her on some thing very bland - the two boiled rooster or turkey/rooster gerber toddler foodstuff. What you're doing that's giving her tummy a destroy and then progressively introducing meals that may not further inflame. you extremely could see progression extremely quickly. needless to say, if some thing changes dramatically, you are able to wish the vet pass to, however the kitty could be great.

Please have your boss get a autopsy on the cats, they will find out what happened to them.
I would tell him to check the electric cords in his house for bite marks as they might have bit one and got shocked and died from it.
But also the possiblity that they may have had a disease that was undiagnosed that caused their untimely passing. Also, a heart attack could have happened in a young kitten.
But I would get the kittens to the vet for an autopsy as this is a mystery on how they passed away so suddenly.

Hi Does your boss smoke Kittens will chew anything and cigarette butts are fun for small kittens. The symptoms sound like Nicotine poisoning and the buts of smokes are high concentration of nicotine The older cat is not interested in the ashtrays and the kittens were probably teething
So sorry to hear of there fate.

sounds like a poison has he been using organo phosphate weedkiller nearby otherwise look for a more sinister reason almost certainly a poison have the corpses checked by a vet to establish for certain in the meantime dont bring any other cats into that enviroment.

tell them to take each electric cord in the house, unplug it and using their thumb and finger, gently feel the whole length....I have a cat that chews electric cords, I put Adams flea spray on the cords to stop it. Even a little jolt of electricity can harm/kill a cat.

It sounds like to me that they may have got hold of some chemical in the house or they could have got ahold of a cord that was worn out etc. my kitten one time chewed the cord of typewriter and got a shock but she is okay. But I got the shock too. well hope he finds out what going on. i pray for him

Wow, how sad is that. Wish I had an answer but I really don't. Is it possible that they somehow got stuck behind something, that caused there legs to get hurt? Sorry, I am not much help.
