wow I'm sorry to hear that. My cat is 16 years old, she's an outdoor cat and has a cataract in her right eye. I'm waiting for her to do the same :( She's lived a long life.
She could've been poisned. If this was the case she would have rollled around in the floor (kinda like cats do when they are near Cat-nip). But then she would have just stopped moving and died.

Without an autopsy it's impossible to say, any number of reasons could have caused her to die from poison to an underlying internal problem. Most vets will perform autopsy's on request, especially if it was an unexpected death. Well the vet's I work at do anyway. It could be expensive though and the body mjust be either fresh or preserved in a freezer. If it is too long past the death the tissues would have started to break down and an autopsy is impossible.
Cats often just curl up and die when it's their time, most owners have their cat go missing because they often choose to die outside so you are lucky that you at least got to be there in the end. Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. However, it sounds like she went peacefully, which is good. I think she had an underlying condition that was fatal, which gave no symptoms until she died, like an aneurysm which ruptured. An aneurysm is a weak spot in an artery which can finally give way, causing death quickly. The other thing that comes to mind as a possibility is a blood clot in the brain or heart. People can die of these conditions and so can animals.

Most cats that are kept inside and taken for regularly vet visits and given a normal cat diet have been known to live up to 20 years,but the average age of cats are between 10 to 15 years barring any health problems from there kitten years.

Did she just literally lay down and die? I want to say choking or poison ingestion, but if either of those were the case, the cat would struggle at least a little bit.
Maybe her heart gave out, or she had an aneurism of some sort?

one ingredient i will assert - no one is independent on Siamese. You the two love them or locate them obnixious, there is not any in between. Please examine up on them till now getting one - they do no longer look to be the breed for each man or woman. Their personalities cause them to the #2 breed given as much as shelters - human beings purchase them for his or her superb seems, and then take them to the shetlers for his or her personalities. they do no longer look to be settee-potatoe cats which you will feed and forget approximately. they're very needy, very plenty "on your face", interactive cats. they're vocal (LOUD), athletic (busy, throughout each thing), and actually sensible. they might desire to be with there chosen man or woman or persons, and could insist on being ideal there with you whilst ever you're domicile. If it is taken under consideration one of those interplay which you incredibly prefer, then this is super! If no longer, then possibly a Siamese (or different oriental breed) isn't for you. Siamese could have some wellness subject concerns, fairly in the event that they arrive from what we will call a "below respected" breeder. The would nicely be genetically inclinced to early kidney failure, and undesirable tooth. paying for from a registered, respected breeder helps to dodge those wellness subject concerns. they actual tend to be very, very illiberal of nutrition with corn - that removes feeding them most of the food market meals, or you will finally end up with abdomen subject concerns which includes substantial puking. with any luck you're the two getting a defend cat, or one from an outstanding breeder and not a puppy shop or lower back-backyard breeder!

has this cat always been yours or did you just get it? the siamese breed is very loving and caring and gets attached to their owners from a very young age. if you just recently got the cat then it may have grieved itself to death. sounds crazy, but it can happen. if not i'd say it was an underlying heart problem.

The same thing happened to my 13 year old Russian Blue. The vet said it was an aneurysm/thrown a clot. No way to predict it and nothing that could have been done to avoid it.

Sometimes there are underlying medical conditions that are not found out till too late, are uncommon or hard to find. I have heard that our animals when we think they've been stolen, they've actually gone to find a quiet place to pass on. There was probably nothing you could do.

The vet would have to do an autopsy to know for sure.
Siamese live to 20 years plus, she was young.
