I honestly don't know if this is a medical problem, a behavioral problem, or a spiritual problem. I hope someone has some idea what may be going on.
This happened for the 4th time (in 6 months) last night. I was almost asleep, when I was awakened by Spawn 'growling'. (As you're all cat people, I'm going to assume you understand kitty growling!) When I reached to pet her I immediately knew she was 'gone' again. No breathing, no reflexes, no nothing. She only growls once or twice before these episodes, and then... nothing. I picked her up and she was completely limp. Her head rolled back, there was no resistance in her body anywhere. Complete DEAD weight.
As always, I panicked, shook her, called her name, put her back on the bed and rubbed / shook her body This process takes about 1 minute. Right when I'm sure she's gone... she springs up full of life and attacks me.
I don't know how to convey how scary this is. I told my vet about it, and she has no answers. Within minutes Spawn is fine again, but I would swear she's been dead. She's only 3 years old. She has no other problems aside from being a touch evil. She's just your ordinary run of the mill domestic long hair.
So. Is she having brain problems? Is she purposefully scaring the crap out of me? Is she having out of body experiences? Any suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated!!! (Maybe I should seek psychological evaluation?)
