My cat has muscle spasms; could it be serious and how to help?

Question

My cat keeps having muscle spasms, what can I do to help her? She is about 8 years old, she doesnt let anyone touch her when she is having the spasms, she has a mix of wet food and dry food, always clean water, she keeps scratching herself when she is about to have a spasm but we checked her for bugs and gave her a bath with dawn dish soap and found nothing.

The spasms could be seizures. Have her physically examined by your veterinarian or a veterinary neurologist to diagnose the underlying cause. In the meantime, the vet may dispense medication to control or prevent the spasms/seizures. Keep her as stress free as possible, since stress may be a trigger for the condition.
