I had a cat who was diagnosed with a heart murmur when he he was four. We had a scan to confirm it and then treated it with meidaction mixed with his food. We never did anything to restrict his activity but hwe was an indoor cat and defintely a lap sitter rather than a roustabout.

He lived until he was 14 and then we had him euthanized. He started having difficulty breathing, had lost weight and was not homself. He died in my arms.

Whatever you decide, do it with love and respect . My cats have always been a partof my family and I would not begrudge medical treatment if I thought it would make their life more tolerable. Death is a gift we can give our animals, as is an extension of life. LIsten to your heart and then your brain.
