It's really difficult to know without having seen the kitty. The more likely causes are infection, trauma, or a congenital abnormality. The best way to find out the cause is to send the body for examination by a veterinary Pathologist. If you still have her remains, then you can ask your veterinarian about doing this. The sooner this is done, the more information that can be obtained. I hope that helps.

    I'm very sorry for your loss. unfortunately i couldn't tell you what the cause of death was, seizures can be caused by various conditions including epilepsy, brain tumors, brain trauma and intoxications.
