Has anyone had a cat die like this?  Started bleeding from the mouth.  It moved from it's first position, across the room, where he knew that his owner would find him, where the owner sits in his chair often...the cat was on his side.  He had blood all under his head/mouth.  The vet said there was a gray area on his tongue.  I am not sure if that had always been there but she said it seemed like it was a bruise from something b ut I don't know what.  I do not think he was electrocuted but can't be 100% sure.  He was thin, about eleven years old, seemingly good appetite.  Drank a lot of water, hunched over his water bowl for periods of time.  He often pulled his own hair out.  We had no idea he would die around this time other than sure he looked thin but we just thought that was normal for him and a part of entering into senior cat years.  He had thrown up two or three times over the past two weeks before death.  I cannot find much in my research online for cats that died like this and the vet would not test his blood or do an autopsy so it's driving me nuts.  I realize that no one can pin point his diagnosis just from a few details here.  However, any thoughts or information or similar stories would be appreciated.  Thank you!
