Hi There,
This sounds most like post seizure behavior to me. If your cat is having seizures, there are several possible causes. She could have epilepsy, something toxic in her system, some kind of brain swelling, or even a tumor. She may also be experiencing some compromised vision.
It might be helpful to check her blood glucose to see if it decreases during this behavior. This may indicate seizure activity. Also, an ultrasound might be helpful to rule out the possibility of some kind of tumor in the belly, and a chest x-ray to rule out the possibility of a mass in the chest, with a echo following, if necessary. Also possibly a crypto titer, which is a fungus that can affect the brain. I would suggest skull films, but this would require anesthesia which would be too risky at this time.
I can imagine how scary all this has been for you. I'm sending Glow and will be keeping your baby in my thoughts and prayers.
Please keep us updated, we really care.
Regards,
PHKitkat
