bookzombieGood news on the cat front. Snowy had her blood tests yesterday and they came back completely normally: so no diabetes, liver disease or kidney problems. So that's really good.
So basically all we can do is to keep monitoring her for further fits. Basically if she does have further fits and they are more than 3 months apart and they don't start getting closer together then it's probably idiopathic (in other words Snowy was effectively born with the possibility of having siezures and it has just finally manifested) and there really is nothing to worry about.
So good news over all; Snowy is 14 in a couple of months and is already the cat we've had who has lived longest (poor Benji died when he was 13, but he had a dicky ticker) and she has always been robustly healthy, but she is of course no longer a young cat so we expect things to start going awry.
