If only death for cats was that quick and painless. For mine, they don't just go into a deep sleep...I won't go into it...but it was not that quick or easy.
The only time my cats were in that deep a sleep, I had carbon mononoxide in the house and I was groggy - so were the dogs. We all recovered once I opened the windows/doors/called 911.
None of my 3 cats have ever done that. If I make any slight noise in the kitchen indicating a can might get opened the herd piles in like rolling thunder down the stairs. See if that works next time.

I can rouse my boy by touching the laser pen. I swear he teleports. One minute in a deep sleep, I touch the pen just the slightest bit, the next second he is sitting in front of me alert and ready to play with his Red Dot.

Its amazing how much noise a cat can make when descending wood stairs. I have thought there was a burglar in the house once or twice. Then I remember Mr Rotundity.
He is no longer rotund though. I bought a bag of cat food at Costco that is designed to lean out a cat. Worked like a miracle. He is now the perfect weight.
So weird I found this thread today. This actually happened to me last night. I was on the couch my wife on the bed upstairs sleeping. Cat sleeps with her part of the night and with me if I am down stairs passed out. Cat originally was upstairs with her until around 1:00 am when this fox or coyote was making this ungodly screaming sound right next to the house. Cat comes running downstairs and proceeds to snuggle up next to me in fear. I go back to sleep about 20 minutes later waking up about an hour later in the middle of the night I realize the cat is down by my legs. I go to nudge her since she is really tight next to me and don't want to hurt her if I roll over in my sleep. This is when I realize she will not move at all and her body is stiff as a board. I start to freak out thinking maybe she got smashed some how or died in her sleep. I continue to nudge her for about 5 - 10 seconds and still nothing. Finally I go to pick her up by the scruff of her neck she lets out this yelp waking her up from a major deep sleep. What really made me nervous since I know shes a deep sleeper was her body really did feel stiff like rigamortis had crept in. Cats are some crazy critters at times..

I call my cat crazy every week. But I love him....when he isn't being crazy.
I'm 10 and I own a black domestic cat name Tt. Right now she is pressed up against me sleeping. She looks dead too. She is curled up in a circle with her head touching her hind legs. It is highly cute. Anyways, after a while I check on her, pet her, she doesn't respond. I sometimes pet her until she answers. Most of the time, I look at her stomach. I check for breathing. When a cats stomach goes up and down, it means they are breathing. :3 So take it from a 10 year old. I own a cat. She looks dead. I check her chest. I go back on my computer. Easy as that.
