I called the vet to see about getting a necropsy because we're worried the cat had something infectious. A necropsy costs $600--more than I want to spend. She said it was most likely sudden cardiac arrest. Heart damage can't always be detected by a regular exam. (A friend of mine has a heart condition that wasn't detected until she started passing out.)
My son got home and just sat on his bed, staring at the floor, not saying anything. The cat was mostly his.
Thanks for all your hugs and good wishes.
I.
