A week ago when our cat Chloe was asleep she started thrashing about as though in a bad dream and fell off our couch. Even after falling she still didn't stop. Today she was eating and she started convulsing again, do you know what might be going on or have any advice for me?

please take her to the vet..my cat would advocate for the vet visit also if he were still alive this moment. my baby passed away from a seizure Tuesday night. Nobody can tell me what caused this. torments me to the core. your kitty is in my prayers for nobody should have to suffer the loss of a furry child.

My kitten does the same thing. He's just sleeping very hard *I've picked mine up in a dead sleep without him noticing* and dreaming. It's like a dog twitching in its sleep. As long as your cat doesn't show any other signs of distress, and that only happens when he's sleeping, I wouldn't worry. Warning signs are: 1. Loss or derangement of consciousness 2. Contractions of all the muscles in the body 3. Changes in mental awareness from non-responsiveness to hallucinations 4. Involuntary urination, defecation, or salivation 5. Behavioral changes, including non-recognition of guardian, viciousness, pacing, and running in circles

You don't say how old Chloe is, but regardless, you should get her to the vet ASAP. They can do a blood panel on her and check for diabetes, among other things. IF she's diabetic, the seizures could be a result of low blood sugar. But that is really for a VET to determine.......ASAP!!!!! Good luck.........

A seizure disorder can be helped by medication. You will need to take her to a vet to determine if she is having seizures or strokes.

Take her to the vet, it amazes me how people go to the internet instead of a vet.

You need to take her to the vet as soon as possible... Seizures can be very serious.
