Poor Coco! It's very concerning Claire that she is having seizures, and in an old cat such as herself, it can have very serious causes such as brain disease. I would take her into a vet as soon as possible for a health check. If you can get, get a video of her having these seizures to show the vet. Good luck, I hope this helps!
