Catherine - You must get this baby to a vet ASAP. I'm sure they'll have some meds to keep this from happening. My daughter's Persian also had a history of seizures. He would lose his bowels and pant and shake. It was really scarey watching this. One morning he had his final seizure which led to paralyasis of his back legs. My daughter was enroute to the vet when suddenly he lashed out at her face and tore her tear duct. My daughter had an operation that day and the cat unfortunately was put down. I'm sure that if you get your kitty looked at ASAP he will definately be OK with medication.
