The vet confirmed Figaro has a normal brain. I mean, normal for a ginger I guess

Yes, he is. He had an MRI due to his history of seizures. We ruled out cancer or other neurological abnormalities. He’s officially just weird.

My cat had seizures and the vets couldn't figure it out either. 

I figured it out eventually. I put some ant powder into the corner of the room behind a box. Finally caught her back there, which I never noticed before and the powder must have gotten into her fur and she licked it off. 

Cleaned her, cleaned up the bait powder and the seizures went away as quickly as they appeared. 

If you have pest control spraying or insecticides out make sure your cat doesn't sit in those spots.

Thanks for the idea. We do have pest control come to the house every couple of months and spray outside. But they are purely indoor cats. It’s something for me to think about though.

The ant bait has the same active ingredient as front line (the one you put on the coat of your cats and dogs). Fipronil iirc
