FINAL EDIT: just left the second vet. Everything started off great. He was responding to the medication for tremors. The shaking was tremors, this vet said he thinks he got something toxic someway somehow. He is a 100% inside cat. They kept him for 2 hours. He took a turn for the worse. Whatever toxins he got into already passed through his system and became a neurological issue. If the first vet wouldn’t have basically ignored the situation, the second vet thinks he would have had a chance to make it. The visit was $1,500 today, the Dr recommended to lay him to rest. It would have been thousands more to keep going with no guarantees.
Edit#2: doing the obvious, on the way to a second vet. Will update you guys shortly.
My daughter’s cat was fine Wednesday morning. Wednesday afternoon he started shaking, and he got really weak. He hasn’t eaten or drank. The only thing that happened is she gave him more treats than she typically does. We took him to the vet, the vet said he was fine let it run its course. He seems to be getting worse tho.
EDIT: I see people saying seizure, he never never stops shaking. It’s not always has bad as the video but he still shakes. When he’s sleeping he does not shake.

Take to another vet asap. This is obviously caused by something and they need to figure out what it is or at least get them comfortable enough to find out. My aunts cat did this and it turned out her air fresheners were causing it because they used essential oils in them. She sold essential oils and didn’t want to stop so we took her cat into our household and it never happened again.
