he was fine yesterday so i dunno what happened but he knew, he came into my room about 7:30 am and started howling loudly like he was telling me to wake up and bye, he lost all of his bodily fluids and was panting like he was gasping for air, took him to the vet had him put to sleep, i looked it up and it seems like he had a heart attack

Losing a pet is never easy although some people tend to trivialise it.

Take care xx

Like they think it does not hurt as much because it is "just an animal"?  

Animals can be more loving and forgiving than any human and loosing them hurts just as much if not more.

PS much commiserations Groomsy
I know I have expressed my general dislike for cats but Losing a pet is always sad.
17 years is pretty good for a cat isn't it? never owned one myself and the only one I knew was also 17 when it passed and it seemed very old... it was a stoners cat, laziest cat ever   :::blnt:::

he was like a kitten for 17, he had hyperthyroidism but besides that he was good, he was on pills. he was lazy but very playful with certain people.

his face was so troubling i wont forget it, struggling to get air with his tongue sticking out, just couldnt bear to let him go on any longer, its not like it was a long suffering just happened suddenly, most cats are quiet when something like this happens. and if i could of saved him, not many live much longer after a heart attack.

but he came in my room to say like goodbye or something

i have looked it up and it all points to cardiomyopathy, i am not totally sure tho.

Our cat suddenly became ill and crawled away down to the bottom of the garden and hid himself away in the bushes. I had to pick him up and take him quickly to the vet but they couldn't do anything and he just passed away in the vets. Seemingly hiding when they are ill is something they do.

besides the  colorings thats mischief, was he a domestic long hair? mischief looked fat because all of his hair, when he got hyperthyroidism he looked skinnier even on pills, was yours a troublemaker too?
