Why is my cat acting drugged, zoning out, then normal again?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

My car is acting drugged, knocking over his bowls and meowing. He is carrying toy mice in his mouth and meowing. He also zoned out, not reacting to anything with eyes open but then went back to normal. What happened?

He may be having vision problems, high blood pressure or might have had a seizure. If his pupils are wide open, please take him to an out of hours or emergency veterinarian now. He may have high blood pressure and fast intervention can reverse any blindness caused by this. If his pupils are normal and react normally, take him to a vet tomorrow for an exam.
