If you’ve ever seen your Maine Coon cat or other breed feline have convulsions, fits or uncontrollable body movements then call your vet right away. Your cat may be suffering from epilepsy. Feline epilepsy is a brain disorder that can cause your cat to have sudden, uncontrollable seizures. Suggested causes for the seizures include congenital defects, diabetes, hypoglycemia, low oxygen levels in the blood, kidney disorders, liver disorders, infections, brain tumors, toxins, fevers, hyperthermia, trauma, medications, or idiopathic epilepsy (genetic disorder).
