If your cat is having a seizure, please watch them closely while timing the duration of the convulsions. Contact your veterinarian as soon as possible for further advice and, if the seizure continues for more than a few minutes, rush your cat to an emergency vet.

i just want my cat back. i would do anything for her back.

thank you for covering this topic, i have never really heard about cats having epilepsy/seizures until about a year ago. very happy that people are being made aware so they'll know what to do if something happens!

I have an older cat who is having what we think are seizures. We’re taking her to the vet tomorrow to have her evaluated and see what options we have for her going forward. Hopefully everything will go okay. Little update: She started urinating blood. I think her kidneys are failing and she’s not able to filter out toxins, so that’s why she’s having seizures. But I’m not a vet and we’re taking her to the vet tomorrow. Update 2: So, my cat is still alive after her vet visit. They took some blood and urine and ran a whole bunch of tests and all her organs are functioning as they should be. So the seizures are definitely just in the brain and don’t have any outside source that we’re aware of. They also said from how the seizures look, that they are vestibular seizures. We don’t have her on any seizure medication since we want her to live as naturally as possible. So far she hasn’t had another one today, so that’s also a good sign. As for the blood in her urine, they said that she has FIC and the way they explained it is when a cat gets really stressed, the bladder becomes inflamed and the urine gets bloody. But that’s something that goes away naturally. She has arthritis in her hips, which is why she has a somewhat wide and odd stance, but that is totally normal for a cat that is around 20 years old. I’m happy with the outcome I’ve gotten today. I still have her in my life, and she’s not sick and suffering. I’ll continue to keep an eye on her seizures to see exactly how long they last, how long it takes her to recover, and what they look like. Possibly take a video of it and show that to the vets. That way we can be more sure of what’s happening to her and how to treat it.

Thank you so much. My cat had a seizure this morning for the fist time and I was terrified, I still am. But now I at least understand a bit more which helps. Even the way you explained it all was very calming. So again, thank you so much. Ill do everything in my power to give to my baby girl a life as normal as possible.

Our Cerebellar Hypoplasia kitten has fits every hour for 3 days and nights. A vet refused to give him anti seizure meds. Kitten was getting worse and worse until I rang vet and said I’d report him, he gave us the medicine and he stopped fitting and was back to his normal self. Vet was trying to get us to pay 4K to get a scan which could take a week to have , rather than just try and stop the seizure and then investigate . Unfortunately with insurance chasers this is how vets are becoming .

Bless you for posting this video and thank you for this information.

One of our cats had a bad s seizure this morning about 4am . He was diagnosed with leukemia a few years back, he would have fevers and not eat, under weight and wasn’t expected to make it. He’s a fighter though. Today he’s healthy, solid weight, very calm and playful. This is the first seizure that we know of. He was panicking running around just before, then he fell over and his legs started to flail and shake with foaming at the mouth, racing heartbeat. I’m not sure how long it lasted because I wasn’t in the room when it started and was only told about it after he regained consciousness. Hopefully this was just an isolated incidence but we’re monitoring him and will start a diary and take video it happens again. Thankyou for the advice.

Thank you. My cat does not have seizures. But as I watch this. I realize my dog was having mild seizures. It never occurred to me. You went from A-Z. Great great video.

Thank you for the information. My cat had a seizure while he was living at the shelter, I've always been concerned since I adopted him that it could happen again. This helps.

Today alone my cat had over 10 seizure episodes and I thank you for giving me this information it would help me a lot

could listen to this guy talk all day, what a lovely voice, and an excellent thorough video. Im doing my ISFM level 4 for vet nurses and this has been a fab revision vid before I get started on my section about seizure, so this is suitable for laymen and professionals alike.

This is so helpful and reassuring. Thank you ❤

Thank you so much. That was very informative and easy to understand.

i cant afford a vet and its heartbreaking seeing my kitten like this

Very informative and clearly explained. Thank you.

I came across this video because I realized my cat is having seizures. Tonight was the 3rd time and now I’ve actually seen it. (My 13 year old told me she noticed the cat falling and drooling) Thank You for the informational video

Thank you so much,. I now know that my cat wont be in grave danger once her seizure attacks! I can finally help the vet diagnose my cats condition,.

Thank you for this information. I felt immediately reassured.

Details very much appreciated .

This is incredibly helpful information, my cat just suffered from heat stroke and I'm so glad that I can properly help him without feeling paranoid that he may fall asleep and not wake up

Great information. There are lots of videos on the net with cat having s seisure but this one makes all clear

I once fostered a young cat with kidney failure that had a seizure. Before it happened I noticed that she was staring and unresponsive to my voice, which was very odd for her, since she was very loving and quick to greet me. Her whole body twisted and convulsed and it was very distressing to witness. 😥 It only took her a couple minutes to recover, but it was so sad to watch.

Thanks for the video this was veryyy helpful !

Thanks so much for that info

My for the past four days my cat has had had seizures, he went to vet yesterday when did it for the third time and they treat him for the day and told me Wednesday he’ll get a blood test to hopefully find out what is wrong. He is five years old and has never done this before. It is scary but he is my child so I’ll do anything in my power to help him.

Our cat has cerebellar hypoplasia and has about five bad spells a year. Within these spells he can have a few seizures or just one. It's heartbreaking to see but we know how to handle it now thanks to good advice like this. Thanks.

Really helpful 👍

DON'T FORGET BLOOD PRESSURE. My cat had them because her pressure was way too high. The doc thought that it was BP even before she came in for an exam. She is on Prednisone so that can commonly raise BP too high. When they took her BP it was confirmed. She got a new BP med for it without any other tests. She is now doing okay with both her Prednisone and the BP lowering med. Hope this helps someone.

Excellent video 👏👏👏

Thank you for this information.

Thank you for this information, just now my 20 year old cat had a 30-40 seconds seizure, the first one on her entire life, I was preparing my coffee and saw that she reacted funny when I was shaking the spoon, her pupils went big and she was shaking her head each time the spoon make a noise with the mug, and then she started to have a seizure, not that violent. She doesn't have any other desease, but I'll take her to the vet now. Thank you and greetings from Mexico 🐈🇲🇽

Have you tried Weedborn CBD yet?

Excellent video , thank you so much Dr , my 4 months old female cat started having seizures a few days ago , all kinds of tests and they still don't know, it only remains to draw fluid from the spinal cord, really don't even know if i want to put her through that let alone afford it , it really breaks my heart, this week is been very tough for her !

Bless you

thank you!

This may be the explanation of seizures ever!!!! Thank u

Very informative thank you. You're like the Sean Connery of Vets my man.

Thank you.

My cat just stated to do something but I'm not sure if it's a seizure as described but I will take your advice. Thank you for your video.

My cat has twitches and spasms to certain sounds. It’s called FARS...TOM and Gerry Syndrome, or Audio Seizures. Sensitivity to sounds. Spasms or twitching or both. My cat has them all the time. She has the general seizures once a month if I make a noise that sends her into one.

If your cat is having seizures try turning off your wifi at night (and any hours you're not home or out at work). Some cats may have a high sensitivity to EMF (electro magnetic frequencies) that transmit from wifi modems or routers that I believe can cause seizures in cats. My cat no longer has seizures so this little trick definitely worked for me. Let me know how it goes if you try it.

Thank you for this video. My 18 year old cat started having seizures tonight. I thought he was dying. He has other health conditions, and I do not think he has long, but he still has a lot of quality of life. He even ate and played on his catnip scratcher in between episodes tonight. He got medicine after the third seizure tonight at the emergency vet, and is resting on some blankets in a safe spot. Maybe I will be able to get some rest tonight now too.

My pal has a nasal tumor. He is 15, and the seizures are becoming more regular. Thank you for the information.

I’ve had my 4yr old Siamese mix cat for a year now. About a month or so after getting her, she started having grand mal seizures that quickly worsened in amount and duration. The vet visit was only positive for eosinophilia. She’s been on Phenobarbital 8.25mg twice daily ever since, yet recently she’s been having lots of partial seizures despite her meds so I increased the dose by 1/4 which helped however her lethargy and stupor have increased as a result. It’s very hard to watch, sometimes it becomes so hard that I contemplate my reasonings for keeping such a sick pet alive. Note she also has mild cataracts in both eyes. I know that more testing options are available but it’s very expensive, unfortunately can’t afford that now.

THank you so much!!! My dear old kitty is 19 and he has these a couple times a month. What happens is he collapses and flops around and then that stops and he struggles desperately to stand but his back legs don't work until after a minute or so. It's really scary and I am so grateful for this information. I am really scared it's a brain tumor.

thank you so much this video made me feel so much better that i did the right thing my cat just had his first fit today and i was a wreck and all i knew to do was keep him from falling, rest his head on my hand, and let him work through it in my panic i forgot to time it i couldnt get him to the vet right after it happened but were going in just a few hours its way less than 24 so hopefully its something from another condition than a regular thing i thought it would be better for an ultra senior to have to deal with one stressful car ride with a great vet major work up visit and maybe a specialist instead of possibly 3 car rides and visits with his stress to the emergency vet, regular vet, and possibly a specialist or two depending on what the cause is cause no matter what he will get stressed but i know keeping stress at bay is important with this kinda thing please let me know how i should work on how i can help him better or another cat the first time they have a fit ive gathered all new medications and all the info i can i have a few ideas of what it could be i was already about to take him to the vet his carrier arrives later today for his visit that i was going to make for tomorrow still out of it but im not sure if he could be having absent fits he does twitch a lot normally

I'm not even finish watching this but I already lost my cat. I lost 4 kittens in 3 days. All painful knowing I can't save them but this time, it is unbearable. Still, thank you for making an effort for this video.

Thankyou for explaining this so clearly. My 3y cat is has focal seizures and hyperesthesia. He's been on on Phenoleptil 18,75mg every 12 hours and 5mg Fluoxetin since beginning of 2020 but the constant state of depression and almost stupor is getting worse alongside the twitches etc, lack of menace response left eye and weak back legs (alongside phases of tail chasing and running like mad..) I'd be very interested to learn more as I seems to me that it is hard to find really informative videos, like this one, on these focal seizures and also hyperesthesia.

My cat just started having seizures and it's been a nightmare. Got him back today seems to be getting better but still half going into seziures. Randomly just comes on and now diagnosed epilepsy I don't get it. Sending me crazy the crazy shit he doing.

Can fear/anxiety/extreme stress cause a seizure? I have a 1 y/o stray cat that is very very fearful of strangers. I've been caring for him for 7 months. He is affectionate and loving with me and my mom, but will hide for hours and hours when we get visitors, and will only come out when they leave. He defecates and urinates inside the carrier whenever I bring him to the vet. And during examination, he's breathing so rapidly that the doctor can't get a baseline for his vitals. Last night, I gently scooped him up in my arms and brought him downstairs to visit with my brother, who was interested in adopting him. And when I got near my brother, he curled up into a tight ball, and within 5 seconds, started seizing. This has never happened before. I was so scared. I lowered him to the ground and sat with him in my arms until he came out of it. Lasted maybe 10-15 seconds. He urinated and defecated all over himself. He was also salivating like crazy during the seizure. We made the decision then and there to just keep him, since just meeting a stranger puts him in that much stress. So is it possible that the stress and fear caused his seizure? He is otherwise completely healthy and this has never happened before.

My 16-year-old cat had a seizure for the first time today. It was definitely weird.

It’s so confusing, my cats seizures started off where her body would just be stiff and her legs, head would move really slowly but almost twisted out of place, she’s completely aware and always walks towards me but her legs look like they’re swimming almost, she’s been in medication since last March and we’ve increased to dosage 6 times as she keeps having them, and recently they’ve just gotten worse like how you describe and how the videos I’ve seen of other cats having them, but again she is still continue, when she has these ones as soon as I touch her to take her somewhere safe she stops..we’ve got a second medication to try alongside her first one now but shes only 2 and I feel like all this medication is going to be so bad for her, I’ve read about CBD oil but I’m not sure if I even trust that would help :(

We have a cat who is on meds for seizures, did antibiotics for a parasite I’m the brain (she had stopped eating abs was unable to use back legs anymore) reduced seizure meds to once a day, back up to twice a day and she has now had 5 seizures in a month. Fecal samples are showing up clear. What else is there to do? She takes so long to get back to normal with each seizure she has.

My cat was recently diagnosed with idiopathic epilepsy because he was having partial focal seizures. Hes been on meds to help control it. And its really helped. But theres been a few pre ictal situations, but no actual seizures. Hes been through so much. Its so scary

I rescued a kitten who had a head injury. He was having seizures every hour or so, and couldn't see or hear. But after a few days on formula milk be was fine. No seizures and senses came back. For about 6 weeks. But the other day he couldn't walk - well only backwards, was miaowing and crazy staring, falling over and limbs waving around. It was like a minor but extended seizure. I wrapped him in a t-shirt and he went to sleep and woke up fine. I guess he still hasn't fully recovered from the head injury.

I ❤️ 🐈

my cat has CH. she also has an over bite. she is also currently in heat. so all of these combined is making it really had for me to tell if shes having seizures. i tested to see if shes aware while shes shaking and shes reacting to those things. but shes yowling because shes in heat, drooling because she has an overbite, and floppy because shes floppy by nature. the shaking is new for her. she has a mild case of CH so she doesnt have many tremors. i want to say that the shaking is because she has no stability and that shes trying to perch but she cant. she has all the signs of seizures but impossible to tell if they're actually seizures. she is quite the medical anomaly

Hi I'm very happy to find you now it's not my cat but my bunny that thinks he's a cat! He loves with our cat with no cage he's free roam he started having seizures at age four months we think he has partial seizures. He shakes his ears go rigid and he stares. He also has random collapses. This was so interesting thankfully for such an interesting video. Our cat is named mushroom! And he lives with binky bunny and looks after him. Binky is on cbd hemp oil for his seizures it has helped so much. The vet does not know why he has seizures and because he is a bunny I did get a bit shunned initially lie on its just a rabbit. A swell as the seizures binky has the neurological behaviours sometimes and he always poses control of his badder. He chews randomly too. Lots of this info for cats is exactly the same as my bunny s seizures

My 2 minth old kitten had one yesterday

I have to appreciate your very informative video, I have three cats and one of them seizures only while asleep, the worrying part for me is that my cat does every single movement you mentioned, and plus it happens to her many times a week, medication decreased the time to 2 times a week and before starting mediation it was maybe 7-10 times a week and sometimes 2/3 times a day. She becomes very excited after she is back also starving and she eats the amount of her whole meal of a day. Would you please recommend if there are any up to dates types of medication so I could discuss with her Vet, please? Thank you for the great video again

My cat is 2 months old and she always having seizures every minute

THANK YOU, I looked beside me and my cat was shaking mysteriously and I started to worry.. But it’s not *my* cat.. it’s my parents and we can’t go places and see a vet My cat was awake, and I was petting her and comforting her It was 30 seconds at least

Mine had one yesterday. She fell off the kitchen counter and stayed on her side and meowed extremely loud. She would not get up so I took her to ER. The seizure lasted maybe 1-2,min. By the time I got her in car she was already looking at me and looking all around. The took bloodwork , urine sample. Everything normal so they said it’s something with her brain. She is currently on chemo but the type of cancer she has I was told is extremely rare to travel to brain. It scared the heck out of me. I am on a wait and see what happens . She was drooling a lot. Panting. They gave her oxygen. I was told to record it if it happens again. I was also told if the seizure last 5 or more minutes bring her back to ER. If she is having a lot of seizures within 24 hour period bring her to ER. I was also told she may never have another one of rarely have them. The dr said she had a dog that had just 4 seizures his entire life and wasn’t on meds. It’s so scary. I feel terrible for her and it’s awful to see it happen

My cat is having multiple seizures which last in between 5 and 10 seconds, she seems dazed afterwards but in-between seizures she is seemingly fine, she is about 11 years old and we will be getting her to the vets asap but I'm just wandering if anyone could offer any advice or guidance, thanks.

Hi Have a question now my cat diagnostic Idiopathic epilepsy what food need to buy? Is very difficult to find high protein and low carb can you get my what brand it have it. Ty you ❤

My cat is having them every few hours today randomly he is nearly 18 but this has never happened unless we’ve never noticed it, it’s late at night so we don’t know what to do, our vet on call said put him down bc he’s so old tests wouldn’t be right at his age :(

My cats been having some of these pre seizure symptoms for a few weeks but only today shes had her firsy ever seizure. Shes going to a vet tomorrow. Do any vets her know maybe why this is?

We have two cats with seizures and a little over two weeks ago one of them passed away during a bad seizure. My cat is ten and started having seizures about two years ago, we don’t know why he started having them but he does. He loses control of his bowels which is how we know if he’s had one whilst we aren’t home. He goes limp, drools, his eyes look funny, and he yowls. It’s so sad to watch him and the eye trick our vet taught us doesn’t work on him. Thankfully they’re not too often. They used to happen once every six months but they’ve picked up more recently, about three per month?, so we might have to start him on meds if they pick up even more. Our other kitty was my mom’s, she’s had seizure’s since birth. She was born from inbred cats from a hoarders house where we rescued and hand raised her with her three sisters. Her seizures were just she’d get stiff especially in her back legs and then she couldn’t walk right and she’d twist her head weird. They weren’t as scary as my cat’s at the time. Sadly later on she also developed heart failure from heart disease, we believe this is from being inbred. She was on meds for the heart disease which lengthened her life. Since she gained heart failure her seizures changed. She would fall over and yowl, drool, and do frog legs, as we call them. She would be limp but then go stiff. She started having them almost daily so we were going to get her on meds but we didn’t have time before one took her. We also believe her heart failure is why she couldn’t handle a longer seizure. Her seizure’s usually only lasted a minute at the longest unlike my cat’s, but this one lasted maybe five or ten. She sadly passed away in my mother’s arms a little over two weeks ago, she was only four years and five months. Before this we talked to our vet and he said there is nothing to do unless they have them very frequently, and taught us the eye trick, which worked for the poor little girl’s seizures before her heart failure. We miss our fur baby but I’m sure she’s feeling a lot better no longer in heart failure or having those seizures where it was hard for her to breathe. I just hope my kitty’s seizures don’t continue to pick up on how often they happen.

I have a stray cat around my house which was meowing very loudly, so we took him to the vet. The vet said there's no problem. When we came back home, I think he had a seizure. He hasn't been able to stand (it's been an hour), but he can roll and move. Any idea when he'll go back to normal?

My cat just got seizures I’m going to take him to the vet cause is bad enough that I have convulsions and now my poor boy I don’t want him to go through what I go through.

My 4 year old started having them 8 weeks ago, she had 48 in one week, but after her 4th one I took her to emergency vet , with video, the woman told me that’s normal cat play behavior. Then she had one there and all the sudden she’s like well I can give u phenobarbital if it makes u feel better 😳😳yea pissed by now , paid my 457.00 and left. Sissy had 20 more seizures over that weekend i took her to animal hospital, cost me 8500, she sees the vet weekly we cannot figure this out she’s had 86 and counting seizures, it breaks my heart and it’s affecting her quality of life, but I’m out of money. And I’m convinced they are killing my baby girl.

Can this accure after a cerebral infarction ? My cat had an operation on the eye and as a complication a cerebral infarction, but now after 3 weeks this seizure happened.. :(

my cat just now has had repeated fits of reaching his paws diagonal out, clenching so hard, & shoving his face down to the floor as he vibrates slightly. it's only been a few seconds each time, but i am terrified of this, my family cannot afford a vet visit; is there anything i can do to help him or make him comfortable & safe ? he also has wobbled slightly as he walks after these fits . . . but he keeps laying down for long periods of time the micro-fits keep happening at random after he stares for a long period of time in 1 direction, it still isn't longer than even 15 seconds but it's happened over 12× now 2 later hour update he is stuck in place seizing repeatedly, i think he's dying, i can't i don't know what to do

RUNNING SCREAMING FRIGHT-FITS ! My 4 week old adandoned feral kitten, runs and screams, running into everything. It first starts slowly with weazing, then she freezes up stiff, weazing then starts thrashing about screaming and running and screaming. It's horrible. It's like the kitten is in a waking nightmare. I have to grab the kitten with a towel and hold it down as it will headbutt into everything as it's screams bloody murder. I've only had this baby one day and it's happened twice. I don't think this baby will servive , dam this is sad. They servived the heat wave living outside only to have this terrible issue

My cat has seizures, he has a very sensitive spine and if someone is to pet him down the back he usually has one. but of course that isn't the only trigger, they come randomly, they start with excessive cleaning or running in a straight line, usually he curls up as if he is cleaning himself when having a seizure, which has resulted in him biting and injuring his side. It's very difficult to bathe him with the back issue, do you have any advice? he is currently medicated and i keep in touch with our vet regularly

Hi, my cat keeps having seizures.. We adopted her from a shelter at about 5 weeks old because we felt sorry for her, she had an eye infection, pneumonia and she was also feral, so the shelter didn't think she'll get adopted. A few weeks after, she was recovering but had her first fit. Straight after the fit, she sleeps, then the next day she's zooming around the house playing. She's had about 5 fits in 9 months, and we have in the meantime taken her to the vet, they did bloodwork and neutering and found nothing, After her fit, she always sleeps, then again zooms around the house and plays. My question is, as she's fine after the fits, could she still have long term damage? And should I check with other vets?

Write down signs before seizure. Video record seizure (s). Make sure cat doesn't fall off furniture and appliances. Lucky sitting on couch my cat experiencing seizure on the chair with wheels. He says mom purring I say to him mom is here now. Experience weakness and balance. He's scared being alone experience seizure.

I have a 2 months old kitten that I rescued from the streets. She has a recurrent twitching on her left eye and cheek that happens every time she wakes up and sometimes after playing. It often last no more than 30 seconds, but can occur several times a day. She seems to have no pain and no other sympthoms (it seems actually like she doesnt realize at all). She plays and runs everywhere, and I feel this doesnt interfere with her normal life. But... Should I be worried? Does anyone know if is it normal for this to worsen over time or it will stay like that?

How long will it take for your cat to recover from the effects of a seizure? My Tiny is 6, almost 7, and just had one last night. Went to the emergency vet clinic, had them do the blood work, urine, all of that - nothing is showing up. His behavior has been different however, it's like he doesn't recognize me and it's hard for me to pet him. He's barely eaten since it happened, but I've managed to get some fluid in him. Does this last for days? Can a cat die after a seizure? I'm in uncharted territory here and the vet didn't answer my questions very well. I'm just frustrated and worried because he's my buddy and I'm scared that I'm going to lose him.

Our rescue cat has been having what we think are seizures but when we describe what is going on, the vet says it doesn't sound like seizures. I'm a nurse and it's the only thing I can imagine is happening. He has them at least once or twice a week, sometimes more. He'll lose his balance, sprawl out on the floor as if he were standing on a frozen pond with front and back legs sprawled out. His chin rests on the floor and his head sways back and forth as if he is kneading the floor with his chin. His eyes will be closed and he is unresponsive to verbal stimuli. This usually lasts for 30 seconds or more but not enough time to catch it on video. when he comes to, he is very off balance. His bloodwork came back perfect so I suppose we should take him back and ask to move to advanced assessments. Have you heard of seizure activity presenting like this? We don't touch him until the episode is complete and then we pick him up and reassure him, though he doesn't seem to be aware that anything happened.

Hi thanks for your video....I had to take my cat to the vet a month or so ago as she's about 11 now but generally happy and very friendly and needy and loves being with me at night in bed.....she started acting quite unusual and not herself so I took her to vet who run some blood work and gave a general check up and concluded she had a wee sore leg on the right side and also bad teeth and gum disease. She had a good scale and polish and the rotten tooth extracted and she was back to her normal self... but that was short lived. Recently I've been feeling like my house, particularly my bedroom has some demonic energy or activity going on. I have been trying to ignore it but its really being fed by my cats, but in particular this one. She has been acting really depressed through the day.....keeps laying on her side and just looks generally malaised. She seems to be happy enough and is eating as normal but drinking more frequently....but the vets confirmed her kidneys were fine. Anyway, recently, during this scary time in my home, she has started acting different. I now can't figure our if SHE is making me feel like there's something or if she's feeding off of my negative energy but both cats seem scared and won't stay in this room for long. The other one isn't so much of a clingy cat so I'm not altogether overly concerned as she seems generally fit and Healthy. The other one has been acting very strange to the point I've been worried she's possessed. She won't stay beside me for long before she jumps up and runs away. She seems to see things I can't and is constantly staring at the wall with green glowing eyes and like she's almost following something....she will continuously and repeatedly over groom herself which I though was something touching her in her sleep but have read its a sign of distress or stress/fear. Her eyes have been glowing red twice I've witnessed it but mostly her pupils are dilated sometimes to the point of both her eyes being black and glazed (even when i put a lamp on) giving a haunting appearance of being black and soulless. She just lays their and stares either into space or directly into my eyes and holds the stare.....yesterday I stepped in some clear gunge in the downstairs WC which also happens to be where the litter box is situated. For the first time ever, when I picked it up to go clean it, the entire underneath was covered in urine and all over the floor underneath. The final straw has been whiles all this has started happening in the last, approx 4 weeks, the last 2 nights she has had these strange body movements which definitely give the appearance of some sort of possession.....she isn't uncontrollably convulsing....its a sudden and very short but slow body movement where he whole body seems to twist and her right paw extends outwardly, her back legs seem to buckle somewhat until she rolls on her side and her body sort of starts doing a really strange twisting motion. Tonight it happened just before 3am. I was awakened by her howling at the side of my bed....her eyes were fixated on something at the foot of the bed. She wasn't responding to my calls to her buy her ears were going back so I knew she could hear me.....she continued to stare at the wall at the end of the bed....until again, she let out a yowl, rolled over from being in predator mode one minute to suddenly rolling slowly onto her back in this twisting possessed like motion with her paw extending upwards. Shes really unsettled and not able to sleep without waking up to keep grooming herself or to stare at things. It's all just came on so sudden although, I should mention that before this I have noticed her being quite twitchy in her sleep in the past but put it down to her dreaming but there has been a few ocassions where she has actually jumped up and out of her sleep with what seemed to be some sort of electrical jolt. I have noticed for a few years, her being quite twitchy and wondered if she had or could have in the future some sort of neurological problem but as I'd never seen her have a fit I haven't acted on it. I appreciate this is a really long message but I'd love to hear your thoughts on whether this sounds like something you have come across. Does it sound like it could be some kind of small seizure ? A stroke or a possession. It's really disturbing and disressing to see her this way... please give me your feed back on your thoughts xx

My partner IRL had a seizure in front of me when we first started dating. Now I have stupid paranoia about everyone and everything around me potentially having a seizure. Now sometimes when my cat is sleeping I worry if the cat is just sleeping and dreaming or having a seizure... Thanks for this.

My 2-3 month old cat from what I saw randomly had a seizure, what do I do?

Our sweet 6 year old boy has brain damage from his last seizure. He keeps falling over and off of things. We are now at a cross roads of whether to see a neurologist vet or letting him go with his dignity. I can’t find anything online of people talking about success stories. If anyone can give me some insight please reply to me.

Would gum disease cause seizures?

My cat doesn't seem to have seizures but it's left hind paw is knuckling, dragging behind. He seems ot have lost control of it, all of a sudden. He's 2 and seemed super healthy until yesterday. He still eats and I just verified he still pees. Seems kind of normal, a bit lethargic, hangs around in the hall kind of meowing. I too cannot afford a vet at the moment, at all. Anyone has any clue? The paw itselft doesnt seem hurt, its like he doesnt know the paw exists (lost control). So far my research might indicate something suddenly wrong with sciatic nerve (although he doenst go outside or exercsie much) or more likely the dreaded FIP... Any information is welcomed please.

This is very hard vet isn't available for everyone I wish I could take this kitty he wasn't born right he is one year old stuck in four month old body he's always walked stiff back legs can't climb and stuff he I believe went blind he just started having seizures he had one one day then couple days later he's already had 4 that I know of in less than 13 hours this is so horrible it's physically hurting his already born with injuries crooked spine and tail and I got suspicion he hit tht bathroom door head first wide open now he won't stop seizing the next day for the most part. His is long so far every third hour third and half hour he's seizing and trigger? I don't know he's blind and after he sleeps soon he wakes up after a few seizure and he don't move at all before seizure

My cat did it 4th time today and i can't take it anymore 😔

Yesterday night we found a kitten and we brought it in, she's been having seizures multiple times during this day, like five so far, short lasting. We can't take her to the vet cause they're all closed today. But the kitten is acting weird, she sleeps all day, only eats a bit, doesn't play or walk, she has a seizure everytime after waking up, anyone knows what might be up with her?

My cat ran by me like duck walking on her back legs, paddling. Then she laid her down slowly. Her heads shaking some. She got up walked a little, drank some water, tried to walk further and she fell on her side and then just sat their. Idk if she had a seizure our what

Any other writers here 😭 I have to search up the weirdest things- im working on an animatic for a Catified au so- anyways I love animals either way and I’m thinking about becoming a vet alongside my art career

Every time i call the ER vet they "dont have space" and i just dont know what to do

Last week my 11 year old male cat (no health issues ever) started sneezing a lot, then I noticed weird spells of drooling where his face looks odd like a stroke. Doctors have no idea. Then next day he has a full blown crazy seizure. Please help!!!!

My cat will be lying in my arms, or on the bed, with nothing going on, and will go into a full-blown seizure. It lasts about 20 seconds or so, and she never closes her eyes or appears to lose consciousness. She gets up right away, a bit wobbly and confused, and seems to want to eat only one food, and that is Temptations treats, which normally she doesn't seem that interested in. I noticed that these treats seem to have added vitamins in them, which a lot of foods have, but it's always just them. She's had four in a week. Her ears are bothering her, and tonight when I was putting some homeopathic seizure medicine on her outer ears, her ears felt a bit warm. I am wondering if she has an ear infection. I will call the vet tomorrow and see when I can get her seen. She is eating and drinking, and no loss of urine during the seizure. But they are very powerful, and she is a strong cat, but older, about 12. Very concerning.

I lost my cat at 1.5 years pld to focal siezures. She had them every 10 minutes and had over 50 of them before we finally had to let her go. The epilepsy medicine had no effect. We still dont know why it happened

have just watched my cat having his third fit (that I know of) this month. and this video has explained a lot.. i love my boy cat dearly,so wil do what ever i can. is there any medications, like there are for humans.?>

Hi Sir, Thanks for the Video, very informative. My kitten is of 2 months, was suffering for diarrhea took her to Vet. Vet gave 2 injections. For Next 24 hours Cat suffered a lot, might be due to high dose of medicine. From that day kitten started getting fits, 4 times a day and it lasts for 2-3 mins. Please suggest what I can do to save my kitten from fits and give her Happy Life. Food habits- milk and boiled rice, sometime chicken. Feared to take it vet as previous incident resulted very bad. Your Suggestions really matters.

I need help ! My cat just recently started having seizures. He has had anxiety, we try out best to help with that. He over grooms himself and usually when he started seizing up, it’s when he’s grooming himself. He’ll start biting himself and then he’ll drop to the floor and start Intensely scratching himself. This is his 3rd seizure, he’s peed himself all three times. We’re taking him to the vet soon but I just need to know what I’m getting myself into. I can only send less than 1,000 ):
