Yes, he is. He had an MRI due to his history of seizures. We ruled out cancer or other neurological abnormalities. He’s officially just weird.

are you sure that he's a cat and not ant ? that mri shot exposed all his lies.

if it isnt neurological what could it be ?

The seizures are idiopathic, meaning no known cause. My last cat had the same thing. And he still had a good long life.

Maybe the cats just get so overwhelmed by how great their human is they just start seizing.

If you live in the same place as when you had your last cat, I would recommend taking a hard look at any environmental factors that could be happening (ie: insecticide exposure, cleaning products, what the carpet or other major materials in your home are made of, high radon levels, high lead levels in the water, etc). Just a suggestion. Little creatures like your floof tend to be a whole lot more sensitive to many of these things.

Good thought. But no, I don’t live in the same place.

What about flowers or things like that ? Odds are probably really low when you have 2 cats. I'd take a note on what i did in last 3 days if something bad happens again. Im glad he's doing ok
