My cat had a seizure and is disoriented. Sleep or keep her awake?

Question

My cat had a seizure about an hour ago. 8 months old. She seems ok now but disoriented and when she went to go to sleep she was hard to wake up . I've been watching her and she seems okay she's up now...but should I try to keep her awake and not let her sleep? Or do I let her sleep it off? Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed

Poor Presley. Seizures are exhausting for the mind and the body. She will need rest. However, if she has another event today she should be seen by a veterinarian immediately. If she does alright today then she should see your veterinarian in the next few days to have an examination and possibly blood work to see if there is anything they can identify that may have caused the event. Young cats with seizure activity can be due to epilepsy, viral causes, parasitic causes, liver shunts, and other abnormalities. Best of luck and I hope she improves soon.
