When feline seizure activity is related to an underlying medical problem, it is called secondary epilepsy. Primary Epilepsy The term primary epilepsy is often used to describe feline seizures for which no underlying cause can be found. If a cat is epileptic, it will normally have the first seizure somewhere between its second and third year of life. Seizures that happen prior to this time generally have some other medical reason. Epilepsy cannot be cured, but it can be controlled with medication. Feline seizures are usually not life threatening, but it is important to report all suspicious activity to your vet. In the case of status epilepticus type seizures, the cat’s internal temperature could rise to unhealthy levels for an extended period of time. This can lead to failure of vital organs lik
