I am so sorry to hear that. Your cat Casper may be having a seizure. Place him in a quiet room and wrap him in soft blankets or towels until it passes. Then it is best to take him to your vet in the morning or within 24-48 hrs if the seizure dissipates on its own. Typically seizures are not life-threatening unless they continuously occur and don't go away within 15-30 minutes and it is always best to get your pet checked and bloodwork ran to look for underlying causes. If the seizures occur for more than 2-3 minutes or happen more than once a month then it is warranted to get Casper started on anti-seizure medication. Another possible cause of the muscle spasms is a toxin exposure, which would require immediate medical attention and would results in spasms that are continuous and don't resolve.
