One of my cats has started having pretty severe spasms while he is asleep. It started a few weeks ago and seems to happen purely randomly, not all the time. It can get much worse than just the usual light twitching that happens during dreaming. He jerks his legs so violently sometimes that he literally falls off the bed or chair where he's lying. Fortunately, he hasn't gotten hurt yet, and he seems perfectly fine once he's awake. If we see him starting to twitch, we can pet him and wake him up before it gets bad and he's fine. A friend of ours has the other three cats from the same litter he was in, and she said one of his sisters has been doing the exact same thing lately, even to the point where she loses control of her bladder. She took her to the vet and they couldn't find anything wrong at all. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this or know what causes it or what to do for it?
Thanks,
Bill
