Why did my cat freeze with dilated pupils and strange movements?

Question

My cat started to do some slow strange movements when in bed last night. She remained with her pupils dilated and not moving for a while. She turned normal after some minutes. Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 4 years and 7 months old | 7.5 lbs

Hello. This odd behavior does warrant a visit yo your veterinarian, especially if it happens again. This may be nothing, perhaps a sound or something she sensed outside that caused her to freeze, but we really can not rule anything else out, including some underlying condition with her heart or even a small seizure. Just watch her & if she remains normal, just mention this episode to your veterinarian at your next scheduled visit. If it does happen again, please see your vet.
