Seizures in cats are not normal and are very serious. There could be an underlying medical problem or this may be from a toxin ingestion. I'm not sure what to tell you do as I have no idea what products/medications you have available to you. The cat should see a vet. You can try giving her some milk if she will drink it. DO NOT force it down her throat. If it is a toxin ingestion that may help.

    It sounds like the cat may be having some seizure activity (partial or absence seizures). There isn't anything you can do for that other than leave her be. If it is a seizure she should return to normal in a few minutes. If it is not a seizure she could have ingested a toxin of some sort that is causing her symptoms. Those are the two things I would think of right away.
