at that time,
her body is still warm but seem 'blackout' with her eyes open wide,
i checked for her heartbeat and it was very fast but weak,
my dad said she was hit by a car but no one had witnessed it...
and my dad pick her up from the road with her mouth covered with blood at one side...
and she seems paralysed..
so we assume it was hit by a car...
we did not managed to saved her as she was already getting cold and a bit stiff on her legs on the way to the vet....
no vet clinic was open on that sunday night when we try to find one ...
and i cried the whole week for her lost...
she's been with us and my personal bestfriend for almost 10 years,
then my relative started to ask about her death, COULD IT BE SHE HAD CONSUME POISON OR SO..??
since her body and face was in perfect shape and i did check for any broken ribs or other abnormality after we pick her up, and there's non.
she was seen lying on the road in front of my neighbour house which is under full constructions

In the road generally means hit by a car. Not all hit cats will show crush wounds. I'd discount the poison and consider the car to be the culprit.
I'm sorry for your loss, it's not easy to loose a loved pet.

Sorry to hear that. There are plenty of plants, seeds, and house hold products that can kill a cat. Apple seeds for one.
It's entirely possible your cat was hit by a car and caused internal injuries that you wouldn't be able to feel by touch.
I will echo another posters comment about not letting cats outside. Most vets will recommend you keeps cats indoors so to avoid another cat killer known as Feline AIDS. I'm not making that up.

She could have very well eaten rat poison. When the poison is ingested it starts to break apart the inside of the animal, if she was bleeding from her mouth it was probably coming form the inside of her body. It also paralyze. I'm sorry you had to watch your cat pass, good luck on finding the poison.

It sounds like she was probably hit by a car, even if u could not feel any damage, maybe just clipped her.but enuff to do damge..Very sorry for your loss. Now to respond to the keep your cat indoors, u cant protect them from everythimg. It is my personal belief that allowing a cat out doors is part of its mental healt, to climb trees, hunt etc....Ther r many deadly things that could go wrong IN your house, could be just as dangerous. I allow my cats outside, Its just a risk U have to take...from my experince, a cat that is not let outside still wants to go, and when does finally make it, is not prepared to deal with the out doors, or find its way back.

Sorry about your cat, its an awful feeling to lose a pet. Some people disagree with me and think its evil...but that is why I dont let my cats go outside. There are too many risks for them outside. I have 4 cats and they are all indoor cats.

anything is possible, but it does sound as though she was hit by a car. i keep my cats indoors, there are so many dangers (even inside). whatever the case, i hope your cat did not suffer too much.

Ask a vet. If you have the body he can do an autopsy. (Seriously).
