Pet's info: Cat | American Shorthair | Female | 1 year and 1 month old | 25 lbs

Early this morning my cat seizing by the door. She was on her side with her butt slightly in the air and drooling after calling her down she's back to her normal self. She hasn't suffered head tromma and we haven't giving her any medication or anything. She's killed a mouse or two and my friend thinks that it has to do with that. we dont use any type of rodent killer other then traps so I dont know if that could be it. She's back to normal now but Im still kinda worried.

I do not think it's related to killing those mice, Epilepsy in cats is not very common either, you will have to monitor her, if it happens again in the next couple weeks, you will need to take her to the vet in order to get it checked (full blood test).
