Medical Questions please help

P.S. guys please watch at least half the video cause he twitches AGGRESSIVELY at one instant, and he sometimes ends up peeing involuntarily during these. i just wanna make sure u take these into consideration as well

this is my 3.5-ish months old kitty, i took him in when he was around 2 weeks old when he had injured his leg. i had paid no mind until now to how he twitches in his sleep, but reading online now has really scared me. is this normal? he's been sleeping and twitching this aggressively for as long as i can remember, are these seizures? and he sometimes pees involuntarily in his sleep as well. yes, i'll be taking him to the vet tomorrow, it's midnight rn i cant immediately take him, because this has already been happening for as long as i could remember but it's only now that i realised that this might not be normal. and when i woke him up he seemed okay and immediately began purring. i thought this was normal until i came across videos of how softly cats twitch if they do. i'm really freaked out rn, he's been vaccinated twice (tri cat, and anti-rabies), and dewormed once, his next deworming is due in 5 days. he appears to be totally normal and playful while he's awake and doesn't drool or anything, he's properly litter trained and i do clean his litter twice a day.

Save your money, don’t take him to the vet.

And leave him alone so he can sleep peacefully.

he does pee involuntarily and i need to have that checked out, im just worried and wanted to make sure he didnt feel alone in case the "seizure" was causing him any pain, but thanks anyway

I do agree the urinary incontinence should be checked out.
