Hi, Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am sorry to hear Leiu isn't feeling well. I think it is best that she sees a veterinarian based on what you are describing. The twitching and the pain is the most concerning. Causes in an older cat: metabolic issues (liver, kidney failure, diabetes), cancer, pancreatitis, foreign body, or it could just be a virus. I've seen cats twitch when their blood pressure and blood sugar is low. It also could be from different electrolyte abnormalities. Good luck!
