To Tobey's family,

I'm very sorry for your loss. Tobey was a handsome kitty and obviously very much loved. It's nice to have him honored on Cat of the Day. Congratulations!

I once lost a cat very suddenly to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. He too had gotten a clean bill of health at his wellness check. The Vet said HCM doesn't always cause a heart murmur and can easily be missed. I currently have two beautiful cats that are brothers. We found out when Skittles was 2 years old that he has HCM. He's had other problems and the Vet found a slight heart murmur. An echo-cardiogram confirmed HCM. So far his brother, Snickers, doesn't have it. The boys are 3 years old now and so far are doing well.
