Thanks The pet shop did tell us they was from the same litt. But they also lied about other things. So hopefully, being from the same litt is a lie.

We got him booked in, the vets said they will have to sedate him to do some heart scans. Its a nervous cat, seems to be comming out of its shell more now the other one isnt around to bully him. I hope it goes ok, if he does have a heart problem too, he will get very scared/nervous when we take him, which could make his heart worse! but it has to be done. I do not want anything to happen to this one!

Thanks again

This means there was considerable gathering of fluids around those internal organs. Oedema of the lungs means that there was a buildup of fluid within, as well as around, the lungs.

The cause of all he problems was a thickening of the wall (muscle) of the heart.

Hypoxia is basically suffocation. The 'foam' you saw in the mouth was caused by a fit brought on by lack of oxygen. I think there is a fair to good chance the cat never knew what happened.

A (human) friend of mine has exactly the same condition. He lived with it unknowingly for years, until one day he just collapsed and was rushed to hospital. The next few months were hell for him, as all his failing organs slowly recovered, but he hadn't known anything was wrong until he woke up in hospital. He just thought he was a little breathless.

I believe there is a good chance that you cat had very little or no suffering.

Glad your getting him checked. Paws crossed he'll be fine.
