Hello, sorry to hear about Oscar. When cats have severe kidney disease they may develop something called uremic encephalopathy. This can cause seizures. However, given your cats age, other causes should be explored as well. Please have Oscar seen by his veterinarian if he continues to have seizures. Hope this helps and best of luck.
