Why did my 17-year-old cat die suddenly with vomit and blood?

Question

I had a cat who was 17 years old just recently she passed away. It broke my heart. But I came home from work and she was fine. Eating drinking and purring. Just recently she had diarrhea first time in her life but did not last long. I got home late and went to bed early. The next morning I found her lifeless. There was some vomit below her head and in her mouth and a very small spot of blood. Just for a peace of mind I was wondering if you have an idea of what may have happened I miss her Somuch

I'm so sorry you suddenly lost your cat! Without seeing her in person, I can't say for certain what caused her to pass away, but I can make some guesses. In senior cats, cancer is common, and because our animals can't tell us what is going on with them, oftentimes we find that they are suffering from cancer but we don't know it until it's too late. It could be possible that your kitty had cancer, and it ultimately took her life. She could have also been suffering from kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, diabetes, or other organ failure. I hope my guesses may give you some peace of mind, and again I'm sorry for your loss :-(
