I read your last question. The twitching you refer to doesn't sound like epilepsy, though it is possible (but rare) in a cat. A seizure typically affects the entire body and if followed by a lethargic state. Most likely your cat was bothered by his sinuses or looking at something outside. But if you're concerned, I'm sure a phone call to your vet could ease your mind. Good luck.

I had a cat with epilepsy, probably from brain damage suffered as a kitten. Our vet suggested this possibly came from ingesting some toxin during her early feral days. In her twelve years with us she had about fourteen episodes of which we knew. Her symptoms were usually of whole body paralysis with drooling and unfocused eyes accompanied by urinary incontinence. She would seem tired and a bit unfocused afterwards, and if I can get away with so much anthropomorphism, depressed and anxious. Twice she only suffered a partial seizures, affecting her hindquarters only. We opted for no treatment although our vet said some were available.

Yes they can. My sister has 2 that are on crushed up pills of Dilanten.

Yes most certainly they can, I used to look after one for the owner when he was on vacation, I had to check the blood levels and give shots to poor cat.

i am a veterinary nurse and cats can have epilepsy just like people, they are not always tumour related unless in an older cat 7+ where the chance increases, the type of seizures can range from facial twitching and staring/ other muscle tremours to grand mal where the animal loses complete conciousness and will shake dramatically, froth at the mouth, poss bite its tongue, and will usually lose control of its bladder/ bowels. during these types of grand mal seizures move anythin that may hurt the pet away, dim lights and turn of tv/radio etc. never restrain your pet, allow him/her to wake on there own by talking softly to them do not put your face near them as once they awake the usually are confused about their surroundings if the seizure lasts more than 4 mins or stops and then start straight away an emergency vet call out is nessersary. do not cover them as seizures increase the body temperature do not offer food or water until you have spoken to a vet (straight away) and shut doors/windows to prvent escape, either way TAKE YOUR PET TO THE VET STRAIGHT AWAY, this goes for dogs to. some pets cats/dogs may become agressive while wakig so keep your distance it isnt their fault its just a reaction to the confusion cause by the seizure activity.

jup, mine did.

Yes, they can.

Oh yes they can. We have a cat that is our "shelter cat". She has it and is living a good life. When she gets to hot we worry about her and see more fits. But she lives a good life in the Vet Tech room:)
