Mr Pablo, my 16yo cat recently has had a seizure, so I know how this feels. First, if the cat is seizing more then 5 min at a time it's really bad. Second, is the cat aware of it's surroundings after the seizure? If the cat is seizing, taking to a vet is crucial, since they had meds that can stop the seizures when they start; giving the cat a rest and time to recuperate.
There appear to be 3 different types of seizures in cats.
One is metabolic, where there is something building up in the system (usually in the fat) and has been released for some reason, causing a seizure. These, I'm told, are usually once or twice off and not life threatening; provided you find the cause and trigger.
The second is epileptic seizures which are fairly common and treatable with medication.
The third is brain related, and never good. This is usually a sign of a growth in the brain. Cat's brains are walnut sized and surgery this fine just isn't possible. Plus you need an MRI to see it, which is pricey and requires them to be sedated, further stressing the cat's liver and kidneys (never good for cats, since they have such highly concentrated urea).
I highly recommend taking the cat to a good vet. And making the best choice for the cat's quality of living.
We'll keep the cat and your daughter in our thoughts tonight.
