My cat just had a seizure, she stopped a few minutes ago, but I'm really not sure what to do?? Take her to the vet asap obviously, but its 3am right now and I have pretty much zero money right now as well (which includes just about everyone I know, hard times all around it seems).

Anyone know anything about this or what to do when and if it happens again??

You may want to keep it under observation
. . as long as its still breathing i'm preddy sure it will be ok.

My cat used to have seizures. Last time I check, there really isnt anything you can do for it.

Even for people, there are only drugs to...TRY and stop seizures. My aunt takes a ton of drugs for her seizures yet...she still has them.

Best thing you can do is make sure the cat is in a safe enviroment while having one. (Make sure its not perched on a window or something. Try and carry her to THE MIDDLE of the bed).

I know it can definitally be an emotional event...but...on the bright side...there is a small chance that it could be a one time thing.

As eck says. Just keep watching it.

The guide that zephik posted seems like the way to handle this. You might want to talk with your vet, but if it doesn't happen again I probably wouldn't worry about a whole lot, unless it was a really intense seizure or you just want to be sure.
