Is it normal for my cat to be energetic and loving after a seizure?

Question

Why does my cat get a boost of energy 5 mins after coming out of a seizure. I’ve had her for 2 months now and she’s had 5 seizures lasting about 1-3 mins. And as soon as she comes out of them she’ll run around and then want plenty of affection. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 months and 7 days old | 6 lbs

Hi there and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Animals can develop many different symptoms after having a seizure. This is because of the effects on the brain during a seizure. Some animals will become very lethargic and disoriented While others may become more affectionate and more energetic. If the seizures have not been addressed by a veterinarian, I would certainly recommend having a veterinarian examine her so that the most appropriate Diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. If the seizures are becoming more frequent and longer in duration, she likely needs an anti-seizure medication to prevent these from happening. If the seizures are becoming longer in duration or more frequent, brain damage could develop. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further
