He is more alert and has his curiosity back. The vet seems to think we caught it early. Good Luck with your kitty Thanks Joni,

This exact thing happened to us just this last week with our 11 year old orange tabby, Sunny. Fortunately we caught it in time, so the vet says. He's on medication and in fact goes back for his one week follow up chest xray to make sure the fluid is out of his lungs and the medicine is working properly. He has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, apparently quite common in cats. And I'm not ready to lose my little guy either. Just an FYI, if pill giving is a problem and your cat won't accept the medicine ground up in his food, and you don't want to stress his already weak heart, ask your vet for Chew Tabs. They come in different flavors and they can be prepared so the cat can take the chew tab instead of the pill. Less stress for everyone. Take care and headbutts and purrs to your cat!
