Hello, I'm new to the forum.
We have 4 female cats, 2 that are 3 or 4 (Cally and Midnight), one kitten that's about 5-6 months (Cookey) and one who just turned 15 today (my wife has had her longer than she's had me.
).
Well today, the 15 year old, Pleiades, had what I can only describe as a seizure. She has never had anything like this before, that we are aware of. We heard what sounded like two of the cats fighting/playing but she was alone. She was spinning around and her body seemed to be twisting. This lasted for a few seconds (seemed like forever, but was probably 15 seconds at most). After she was moaning and a little dazed maybe, but didn't loose consciousness. In a minute or two she seemed fine.
She's an indoor cat, never has gone outside farther than a few feet from the door in her 15 years. No recent change in diet or environment, except for the new kitten a few months ago. About 10 years ago we thought we would loose her as she stopped eating for a few days, but she pulled through and hasn't had any health issues since.
Of course, the next step would be to get her to a vet, but our schedule means that won't likely happen until tomorrow at the earliest, more likely Monday. Of course, if something else happens we'll have to figure out how to get her in somewhere sooner.
In the mean time, anyone have any thoughts on what it might be, what we should do for her or watch for? Not exactly sure what I'm looking to hear, but I figured it can't hurt to ask.
