Received my cats necropsy after 8 long months of waiting. Report says she died from rat poison but she showed no symptoms at all was 99% indoor. Is is possible or should I ask them for more proof? Info in comments

I'm so sorry to hear about your cat; I can only imagine how difficult this has been for you. It's certainly puzzling for an indoor cat to show no symptoms and then be found to have ingested rat poison. Sometimes, signs like bleeding gums, lethargy, or difficulty breathing can be subtle and easily missed, especially since cats often hide when they're not feeling well.



It's possible your cat might have ingested a very small amount over time if visited by a poisoned rodent, or encountered it during that rare outdoor moment. Unfortunately, some rat poisons work slowly, causing internal bleeding that isn't immediately obvious.



If you're seeking more clarity, you can definitely discuss the necropsy findings with the veterinarian who conducted it. They might be able to provide more detailed information or explanations.



At home, keeping an eye on other animals and securing any areas with potential toxic substances can help prevent future incidents. If you notice any unusual behavior in other pets, such as decreased appetite or unusual bleeding, reach out to a vet immediately.
