If your cat is dead or very sick, it likely will not respond. This step won't work if your cat is deaf or hearing impaired. In this case, you can try waving the food near your cat so it can smell it. Otherwise, use the method you typically use to announce that it is time to eat. Is the cat's chest moving up and down? Can you see the cat's stomach move? Hold a mirror up to the cat's nose. If the mirror fogs up, the cat is breathing. If you don't see any fog on the mirror, this is a good indication that the cat isn't breathing. Cats' eyes open after death, since it requires muscle control to keep them closed. Its pupils will also appear larger than usual if it has died. Touch the cat's eyeball gently. Be sure to put on disposable gloves before doing this test. If the cat is alive, it should blink when you touch its eyeball. Also, if the cat is dead, the eyeball will feel soft, rather than firm. Check whether the pupils are dilated and fixed. If the cat is dead, the pupils will be large and unresponsive to light. Shining a light briefly in the cat's eye is one way to test brain reactivity. If the pupils react, the cat is unconscious but not dead. You can check your cat's pulse by placing your two fingers on the femoral artery, which is on the inside of the cat's thigh, near its groin. You can feel for it in the natural divot created by the thigh muscles, right in the middle of the leg along the bone. Put some pressure on that area and wait for 15 seconds. If the cat is alive, you should feel a pulse. Use a watch or clock with a minute hand to count the number of beats you hear for 15 seconds. Then multiply by 4. This will give you the number of beats per minute. The cat's normal, healthy pulse should be between 140 and 220 beats per minute. Check a few times, relocating your two fingers to different areas in the inner thigh. Sometimes it can take a few tries to find the pulse. Rigor mortis, or the stiffening of the cat's body, sets in about three hours after the cat has died. With gloves on, pick up your cat and feel its body. If it is very stiff, this is a good indication that the cat has died. If your cat's heart has stopped, its tongue and gums will be very pale and not the normal pink color. If you gently press the gums, there will be no capillary refill. This typically means that the cat is dead or will die very soon.

Article: Some discomfort, bleeding, and swelling during the first few days is common in daith and other cartilage piercings. However, persistent or worsening symptoms could be a sign that something's wrong. Contact your piercer or see a doctor if bleeding, swelling, or pain don't improve within a few days after getting your ear pierced. Note that an odorless white or light yellow discharge that dries into a crusty residue isn't pus. This is a normal part of the healing process. Pus, or foul-smelling, darker yellow or green discharge, is a sign of infection. If you see pus, carefully clean the piercing with saline, and don't remove the earring. The ring helps allow the wound to drain. Contact your piercer, see your doctor, or head to a health clinic if your piercing is infected. Without proper treatment, infected daith piercings can lead to serious complications, such as abscesses and deformed ears. An reputable piercer can recommend a doctor or clinic experienced with treating infected cartilage piercings. Treatment may include topical or oral antibiotics.
