I IDk why.
On Thursday my son and I had just got home from getting groceries. I had picked up a big cardboard box to wrap a present in.
Course the cats were all like woo hoo! New toy! They had chewed a whole in the side, so I took into the computer room to prevent anymore chewing!
Then finished getting the groceries put away. Then my husband called, and I was talking to him. Sylvester was sitting on the floor beside where I was standing talking on the phone. When I looked over at him, he looked like he was trying to draw back away from something, and his eyes looked like he wasn't there. So I said to my son come look at Sylvester I think something is wrong. About that time he looked like he came back into focus. So when My son came over Sylvester went walking away, but he stepped real high, and looke like he couldn't get his back end to follow his front end. So I picked him up and held him like a baby on his back. I stood there holding him for a few seconds and he felt like he was straining, and had one of his front legs straight up by his head, and one hind leg drawn in toward his body. So I carried him out into the living room and sat on the couch with him. I held him for a few more seconds, the he growled at me like he does when he doesn't want to be held. So I put him down but he still walked funny. So I picked him up again and layed him down on the couch. And he just fell over, and his tail was kinda curled up by his back. I got him layed back up and let him lay there on the couch for a few minutes. Then after that and since then he's been just fine. And as far as I know this is the only time this has happened.
Sylvester is a 6 year old Bengal.

We had a 13 yr old domestic long haired cat "sweetie" that we adopted from a shelter! We thought we had a behavior problem because every so often we would find the cat had "peed" on our bed! It got a bit old periodically having to strip the bed and launder everything!

Then one day we thought Sweetie had died! She lay limp and "lifeless" on the floor! I picked her up and held her, hugged her and she lost her bladder and peed all over my shirt/bellie. I thought at that point it was her last breadth and she died!

Instead she came back to normal and ran away!! From that day on she was,"my cat" and followed me like a puppy everywhere I went in the house! We took her to our vet and she was diagnosed as having epileptic seisures and was placed on a daily dose of phenobarbitol! She never had another seizure and never peed anywhere in the house! She lived another 4 or five years and passed of old age!

About three weeks after she passed we adopted "Sophie" the Persian! She is our Christmas Miracle cat who went Blind on Dec. 9th and has regained much of her sight thanks to an animal opthamoligist in Jacksonville, Florida!

No, none of our cats go outside.
