I have read other peoples questions about if their cat had a stoke or not, but my cat didnt do the exact same thing as others. My cat is about fourteen or fiveteen years old. I woke this morning to him on his back in my bed with all four of his legs twitching, pretty much he was flopping around. When I finally calmed him down his breathing was heavy he was actually panting. He has urinated and lost control of his bowels once this morning. He can hear me when I call his name, but its like he can't pick his head up to look at me. I havent got him off of my bed yet to see if he can walk or not. He is also restless and can't stay in one spot to long. I tryed to look at his eyes to see if he is blind from what happened this morning, but no such luck yet. I hope I have provided enough information for someone to help me. Im not sure if he has had a stroke or a seizure. He is my life, so any information and tips would be greatly appreciated.

Sounds like he had a stroke to me. :(
Try giving him some omega fatty acids, cats claw and some B vitamins

I really think you need to see a vet, if only to determine how much pain he is in and how much damage this event caused. You would not want him to suffer anymore than is necessary. Good Luck

What kind of B vitamins are you talking about. Human kind or is there a special kind for just animals?

Hi- I was wondering if you guys can help me. My cat recently passed on, but I'm really confused. He was perfectly fine the night before, then all of a sudden at 1am he starts breathing fast and then wheezing. One of his front legs went limp and he couldn't breathe. Do you guys know what might have caused this? Some say maybe stroke or heart attack? Thanks
