This morning, I was in the toilet shaving and our cat Max came in looking kind of sick, I knew he had that look of needing to vomit. I’d just let him get it out and clean it up, pretty standard.

He vomited once, then moved to vomit again, but the second time, he tried to vomit, he suddenly collapsed on his back and went stiff, then he went into convulsions. I freaked out.

I quickly yelled for Fi to come in, I knew that he was having another epileptic seizure. The last time, Fi was there and it freaked us out.

Last time, Dr. David, said that it’s rare for cats to have such a condition but it does happen. Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do about. He said that we shouldn’t touch him and let the seizure pass and he’ll recover quickly on his own.

After his convulsions, Maxie did get back up and yelped a bit, of course the experience scared him silly and he had no idea what was going on. He got up and walked it off a bit, still a bit shaken. Shortly afterwards, he was eating so he was ok but tired.

Just the scariest thing to actually witness him go through such an ordeal.

Max, our tabby cat and also the “baby”, has a daily morning ritual now: around 7:30am to 8:00am he’ll scratch at our door to come in, jump up onto our bed (always from the foot of the bed) and climbs onto Fi’s stomach for his daily morning cuddles.

Once he’s had enough cuddles, he’ll jump off the bed onto the ground and jump back onto my side to signal to me to open the door for him to go back out.

I’ve even disconnected our alarm clock now that we have our furbaby alarm.

To kick off FurbabiesHK’s blog, I’ve included a short video of our cat Max and his struggle against evil pillows:
