My cat is having seizures. What are the common causes of cat seizures?

Question

I think my cat Mia has been having seizures. The first and second time I didn't see the actual seizure, my brother found her with saliva down the front of her chest first, the second time my brother saw her actually have the seizure. Today I woke up to her making noise and not being able to control her body. They all last less than a minute, she has perfectly normal behavior other than this. I know I need to take her into our vet, but I was wondering what this could be so I can prepare mentally. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed
