Jackson was shivering last night and I was wondering if he could be having a seizure, he’s been meowing more, and been sleeping on the floor, what do you recommend I do?

When pets have seizures, they are unable to respond to normal stimuli like calling their name. The shivering is still concerning because cats should not shiver. He could be sick and I recommend to have him examined today to play it safe. I hope this helps.
