monitor its environment.
Is a cat a cell a tissue an organ an organ system or an organism?
A cat is an organism.
How can you tell if your cat is dead?
A cat that has died will not be breathing, moving or responding to you, and depending how long the cat has been dead might be a little stiff from rigor mortis from setting in.
Is it possible for a cat to be dead but not be stiff even after 15 hours?
Yes, although this would be rare. Rigor mortis is caused by muscle contraction that cannot be relaxed due to lack of ATP within the muscle cells. If the muscles were not able to contract after death - such as with hypocalcemia - there would be a lack of rigor mortis.
How long after a pets death does the body become stiff?
When rigor mortis occurs and how long it persists depends on the temperature of the animal's body as well as that of its surroundings. Owners may or may not encounter this phenomenon when their pets die. It is not the contraction of muscles after death but a chemical reaction that results in the hardening of protein filaments in the muscle fibers within 6 to 12 hours and then relaxes those muscles again in 18 to 36 hours.
How long does rigor mortis take to set in small animals?
Much more quickly than in humans. I'm not a professional in either human or animal fields but here are some things that I do know: The smaller the (mammal) animal, the faster the respiration and the faster the heart rate. Rigor mortis is a process of muscles contracting because the energy production system is powered by oxygen. Logically, this means that when a small furry animal stops breathing, the oxygen will be lost from their systems more quickly than in a big animal, and so rigor mortis will be quicker. My cat died yesterday and it took less than two hours for rigor mortis to set in, from last time seen up and walking around to when I got home from school and found him under the couch. While I worked at the zoo last summer, I dealt with many dead animals- for a baby caribou, it took closer to four hours, for pygmy rabbits, less than one. I find the logical processing of the situation sometimes takes away the hurt.
How do you know how long a cat has been dead?
When a creature (of any kind) dies, certain processes take place in its body. Its blood is no longer being pumped through its veins, and so coagulates (clots), eventually drying up completely. As the blood dries the creatures muscles contract and stiffen. This process is called Rigor Mortis. It causes the body to go stiff, hence the slang name for corpses. The process of Rigor Mortis in humans can take several hours to complete, depending on the persons condition before they died, and the reason for their death. In smaller animals it generally happens faster, as there is less blood to dry up. A cats body will usually be stiff as a board within an hour. The rigidity will give some indication as to how long the cat has been dead. If the cat has not been dead long enough for Rigor Mortis to set in you can estimate its time of death by the temperature of its body. A body this size may remain warm to the touch for around 30-45 minutes. After Rigor Mortis has set it becomes harder to determine a time of death, and the methods of doing so become increasingly complex and expensive. Proceedures such as these require a trained pathologist or mortician and a sterile laboratory. Another method that is used for bodies after a few days is to look at whether there are any fly eggs, larvae(maggots), pupae or evidence of these hatching. Each of these stages has a known timeframe (that may be temperature dependent).
Would a vicodin death to a cat be painful?
Why would you want to use vicodin to kill a cat? Vets will euthanise a cat if it is clinically necessary. There are pet charities that could help you if you can't afford the fees. Euthanasia by vet is kindest & most effective. I wouldn't do it with Vicodin. The drug would rapidly reduce the cat's respiration & put it into a coma. Then the cat would make a horrid noise (similar to a Cheyne-Stokes reaction in a human), just before breathing stopped altogether. The cat would survive for 5 to 10 minutes after that, not breathing or conscious. You can't tell for sure that the cat is dead until rigor mortis sets in. I mention this in case you are thinking of burying it. Being buried alive would be seriously painful & distressing to the animal. Take my advice, take the cat to a vet.

What are the stages of rigor for felines?
I would think it would depend on the size and health of the cat. Also what is the outside temp? I just had a baby die in my arms of FIP. First his eyes became bright from a last electrical surge to his brain. Then almost instantly hie eyes fixed and dilated followed by rigor with in minutes. But he was emaciated so not much to lose body temp.
