She is fixed, but that does sound more like Didymus. I'll make sure to play with her more so I'm not attacked again.My daughter has a cat that does that when he does not get enough play time. It is misplaced aggression - he has a superhigh play drive and gets bored easily. He also needs lots of mental stimulation which is difficult because the kitties have to live in my daughter's room, although it is large; I take him with me to the bathroom to sniff around. I like to give him laser toy play. And he definitely gets correction via annoying "AAAchh" sounds followed by a stern, calm "claw control!". If you observe the kittens playing, you can see which sounds they use successfully to warn the other that they are playing too rough.
There are good episodes of "My Cat From Hell" where Jackson Galaxy addresses that type of behavior.
Because of her seizures, I would try for a vet check, in case it is neurological. A vet check is always optimal but for us folks in rural areas, especially those in underfunded cat rescue situations, that is not practical. And if she is not yet spayed, it could be hormonal - kittens that are only 15 weeks old can go into season!
