Lupin has the most common form of heart disease in cats, Feline Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. It is likely genetic in his case. (Burt would add, worth an Internet search. Medical sites explain it better than I could.)
There are stories of cats living longer, and there are sadder stories—I’m so grateful right now for every day with Lupin, whatever his timeframe could be. This is Lupin. He is a tiny daredevil. He could always still smash the Christmas tree through the window or chew through an electrical cord just because, lol. A year could actually be the best case scenario! Whatever is to come, he is happy and comfortable right now. Even overnight, I think the new meds are making a positive difference. Whatever time he has, he will make it count and we will take good care of him to keep him happy, comfortable, and safe.
