Good Morning,

I couldn¹t find an answer easily on the internet, and found this group. I
hope someone here may have experienced this.

My Cat 'Eloise' is/was a beautiful tortoiseshell tabby and is just now 18
years old. She has been suffering from chronic renal failure for about the
past year and has lost a good amount of weight. Her appetite is good and she
hasn't had any 'accidents' about the house.

This morning she called me down to breakfast as usual. As I was preparing
her food, she went into a grand mal seizure or so it appeared to me. Rigid
and twitching, lost bladder control and excessive salivation. This is the
first time I have observed this. She emerged from the seizure confused and
still a bit twitchy, but went for her food right away, which I feel is
encouraging. She has since been very needing of attention and cries when she
can't see me or one of the pride. (Mommy or Boy). I imagine it's because of
the trauma she just endured.

Is there a linkage between the two conditions? I believe so long as her
appetite is good and she stays as hydrated as she can there is no need to
put her down, but now with the seizure thing in the mix, I don¹t know.

Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,
Rich
