Why is my cat suddenly acting strange with spasms and bladder issues?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Mediumhair | Male | neutered | 3 years and 3 months old | 6.5 lbs

The last two days my 3 year old cat has been acting strange. He goes into these weird poses, it’s like his in a trance and can’t move. Then he looses bladder control. I just got him to lay down on the floor but I had to move him. It looks like he is having muscle spasms in his hind end. Heart beat seems normal and breathing seems normal too. Going to call the vet in the morning.

I recommend video taping the episodes Plo is having. The concern is he is having a seizure but without seeing it, it is hard to say. You can send the video to your veterinarian to have them take a look to see if it is something that requires a visit to them or not.
