He wanted to keep him another night.
This morning he calls and says Max is looking bad and I should put him down.He would call back in an hour. I speak to another vet and he says to try the medication first before putting him down. The cat is not in any pain so I agreed. I then went to my vet to tell him and he comes up to me and said Max is dead. He lets me see him and he's still warm.How the fuck do you bring in a cat to get shaved and two days later he is dead? I don't get it. I'm driving home crying like a little girl.

Terribly sorry to hear about this man. We had a major scare a couple years ago with our first cat and I know for a fact I'd be in your shoes if he hadn't made it. Cats are crazy, they don't rely on us like dogs but still find a way to be our companions.
