Weird Cat Event

Question
I am having trouble figuring out an odd cat problem.  My 9 month old cat has twice in the last month or two had a back left leg contraction for lack of a better word.  Her leg contracts up under her hip like it's gone up into her leg.  She then falls/tips over and is quiet and peaceful & does not appear in pain.  She tries to get up but she can't straighten/use her contracted leg so she tips over.  After about 1 minute or so it
subsides and she seems fine.  She  can walk normally and is herself. Any idea what this might be?

Answer
Shelia,

Please remember that I am not a veterinarian and therefore I cannot diagnose any ailment or prescribe any medical treatmenats. That having been said after reading the information that you provided this sounds to me like it may be neurological in origin, possibly a seizure disorder such as epilepsy. My advice would be to videotape this the next time that it happens then make an appointment with your family veterinarian. If your kitten has epilepsy she'll need daily medication, but it's relatively easy to treat and usually not that expensive. If you have any further cat related questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me again - I'm more than happy to help in any way that I can.
