My cat has a high fever, drools, and twitches. Could it be a seizure?

Question

My cat is 4 years old indoors. She's running high fever, having neurological problems and drooling. Happened overnight and didn't get into toxins, she twitches then shows her teeth growls and sticks out her tongue. Then she's fine. Pet's info: Cat | Maine Coon | Female | spayed | 4 years and 3 months old | 9 lbs

Mama Kitty sounds quite ill. Repeated abnormal neurological behaviors could be due to a seizure (which can raise the body temperature significantly to the point of causing brain swelling/damage), infectious diseases, toxins (although you report that this didn't occur), among others. Since she has such a high fever and is repeatedly having these abnormal behaviors, Mama Kitty should be examined by a vet immediately and will likely require hospitalization to monitor and attempt to resolve her high fever. I hope that she's on the mend soon!
