How bad were the seizures when the cat had them and did it seem to knock the cat off its feet for a few days?

No, nothing that severe. She's had maybe a dozen petit mal seizures where she can't maintain her balance and falls over, paddling her feet and purring like crazy. They last for maybe 30 seconds to a minute at the most, and by the end of that minute, she's perfectly normal again. Her one grand mal seizure was in a carrier in the car. That one, she threw herself around in the crate, scratched and bloodied up her nose a little bit, foamed all over the place, and was herself again in a couple of minutes. I've been told that a seizure longer than three minutes is one that can cause brain damage. I rather think her one grand mal seizure was a little longer than three minutes, or that she must have had a big seizure before I adopted her, simply because she's never been a particularly graceful cat. Rolls over, falls off the bed, gets her claws stuck in things and can't get them back out - she managed to dislocate a dewclaw doing that once.
