Had a Siamese cat, that died at six years old, did the SAME thing. She screamed, thud to the floor that hubby jumped out of bed and found her just dead. Unresponsive. Lost all her bowel movements on the floor when we picked her up. She was in perfect health too, playful and bright eyed and beautiful coat. Nothing was amissed either.
Talked to the vet, she said heartworms ,heart defect that was not detected, and blood clots somewhere in their system. There is NOTHING we could do. We didn't think about heartworms for cats, we thought it only occur in dogs. Even this cat was solely indoors and we both were stumped why she was in wonderful health. Heartworms are more common in cats than heart defects (which our cat didn't have any problems the year prior to her death) and not sure of blood clots ( has not been injured or got into something she shouldn't have).
We both would never know what happened to our cats but sooner or later, we will probably hear more and more cat owners coming forward with the same information.
