Actually the cat is slowly dying because it cannot get out of that position. You know that feeling when you are sitting down for too long and when you stand up you feel the blood rushing through again? If you sit down for too long like that, then you will slowly die. This is far worse for the cat and it is why the cat is today dead because it was never moved from it''s positions (it couldn't move from it because sitting like that paralyses you.)

You just witnessed a cat slowly dying. How do you feel?
