DROWNING.

Description: Panicking only causes more oxygen consumption. If the cat stays underwater, carbon dioxide will accumulate in the blood, and since that makes you want to breathe, it will make you breathe in water.

Symptoms: The first reaction is to cough or swallow the water, which only makes it ingest more. The throat will try to keep water away from the lungs and usually goes into the stomach.

Lack of oxygen may make the cat unconscious, and the throat will relax, allowing water in the lungs. Lots of cats who almost drowned say that there was no beat, no melody, just a feeling of peace as you floated in the water.

After death, the body rises to the surface and floats. Other than fur being waterlogged and seeing them panicking in the water, there's not much else to go off of.
