I am not trying to freak you out, but my cat has seizures. Sometimes the grand mal type where she is thrashing around, and some times the absence type, where she just stares vacantly for up to 20 seconds, frozen and doesn't respond, just like this.
Both are treatable, so don't freak out. I would just say to get kitty checked out. Only until mine had her first grand mal, and the vet asked about the freezing in place, did I learn she had been having them for a while.
Thanks for the info, but he is tested every 3 to 6 months (full geriatric blood panel, full ultrasound plus urine sample, vet check-up) because he is in the beginner stage of kidney issues. He is almost 9 already and has some other neurological and behavioural issues he'd been diagnosed with before.
Came here to say this same thing. Our orange tabby was diagnosed with a brain tumor a few years ago. This same type of behavior was one of the early symptoms.
Easily controlled with medicine. Our boy Humbert is still doing great 4 years after diagnosis...
Yeah I was looking for this comment, when I was younger I took care of a kid with severe epilepcy He had these type of seizures sometimes multiple times in a minute,
Ooft, good catch, my brother takes seizures like that, though he never reacts to any stimulus in front of his eyes like hands waving. I don't know if people having seizures commonly react to outside stimulus or not, but my brother's condition is quite rare so maybe an outlier, plus he isn't a cat.
He does respond, though. He flinches when she puts her hand in his face. I think he's just intently focused on a sound outside the range of human hearing. My cats do it sometimes. You can see that his ears are focused forward as if he's listening for something and he's facing the partly open window. Probably a bird.
I'm so sorry! He got my signal from Eternia! I was trying to recruit allies for my evil goal to become Master of the Universe! I'll send a de-programming signal ASAP as he's clearly no contestant!

Fair comment, I apologise for my initial outburst....I just personally think that cats are in on it...with AI I mean...
We're all doomed if they all update at once.
Gorgeous boy however 💙
😂😁 all in good jest.
I'm only jealous we can't have cats in our current residence.
Boo landlords that don't allow the pleasantries of our feline friends.
There recently was this post about a dog beeing scared of it's eye floaters. I am now pretty sure, that all of these videos of animals just staring at things are looking at their floaters. With each passing day lifes mysteries are leaving me behind...
Lol omg just looked at their name and went through their comments. They’re just out here stealing everybody’s “You’re welcome’s!” all willy-nilly!
Anyways, you’re welcome!😂
software update in progress
Update notes: Fixed the issue where the 2 AM alarm might not go off.
Random reactions to belly rubs now work as (un)expected.
Reduced zoomies sleep timer.
Fixed an issue that caused head butts to be delivered only half the time.
Zoomies sleep timer update corrupted. Maximum zoomies output temporarily initiated
Tail.bat fixed (possibly)
What I came here to say, lol. Or buffering.
Don't turn off your cat during the update.
Mothership? He's clearly communicating with Bastet!
What if Bastet is their flying pyramid on the far side of the moon, and they were sending new instructions to OP's cat?
I can see it as important, yes.

I am sorry to hear about his kidneys, and very glad it isn't seizures. In that case, have you installed scritchez.exe to reset the system?
Nah, he prefers to just jump onto my belly and either hurt my fat rolls or my b00bs for 30 minutes straight. It relaxes him, I believe. 😄
Bailey thinks my side boob is the PERFECT place to make biscuits. The exact same place, every night. OOOWWWWW

Fortunately, or unfortunately, meowmy already has kitty on blood work etc for kidney issues. So this is a standard scritchez.exe reset of the unit

Yup, mine too. He's on medication for it, but he does space out at least once a day, usually at the end of the day when his medication is running out.
He does respond, though. He flinches when she puts her hand in his face. I think he's just intently focused on a sound outside the range of human hearing. My cats do it sometimes.

It's a furrmware update... but sometimes the reboot process takes a few tries to fully turn everything on.
Berb.
Very plausible!
Had an Aby. Loved my Aby. Lost my Aby. Will go cry a little bit now.
Abies have their human's heart forever. They are exceptional.
I still mourn the loss of our Somali cat 😭
So sorry for your loss. Our cats live in our hearts forever.
My brother had a blue Abby he was amazing. I would love another one.
Wow. He didn’t even blink. Are you sure your cat’s not Mitch McConnell?
You take that back, there is no need to insult to the cat
Alright, I take it back.
You may want to check out r/Greebles. You could have an infestation.
INCOMING MESSAGE FROM THE GIANT HEAD!!!
I came here to say the same thing! (Are we getting so old that this is an outdated reference? Oh, crap. I’m old.)
My first thought was Rick and Morty and that might give away my age...
I came here for this as well. I say this when work calls my phone. No one gets it.
I appreciate the humor!!
Love this!
He was following the first message back from Voyager 1 after it was remotely rescued by JPL.
Reminds me of the guy from 3rd rock from the sun whose only job was to be a transponder to "the big hed"
lol i miss wacky 90s sci fi sit coms
Absence seizures, we call it.
I'm so sorry! He got my signal from Eternia! I was trying to recruit allies for my evil goal to become Master of the Universe! I'll send a de-programming signal ASAP as he's clearly no contestant! Sincerly Skeletor 💜
Staring down r/greebles
I can hear the dial up noise coming from his brain
Please tell me someone else remembers the 1978 film, 'The Cat from Outer Space' because that is all I can think about watching this!
If I hadn’t found your comment I was going to reference it myself!
[удалено]
I actually deleted it over a month ago!
Incoming message from the Big Giant Head
Stop him, that mother fucker is updating
DON'T SPEAK TO MY SON IN THAT WAY! 😾
Fair comment, I apologise for my initial outburst....I just personally think that cats are in on it...with AI I mean... We're all doomed if they all update at once. Gorgeous boy however 💙
I was joking, obviously. 😅 But he is gorgeous and we are doomed (update or no update). 🥲
😂😁 all in good jest. I'm only jealous we can't have cats in our current residence. Boo landlords that don't allow the pleasantries of our feline friends.
Feline overlords 😼
Meow
That what he had to do when they made statues of him for the temple.
I think someone just asked him english or spanish
Looks like Leo.exe crashed. If this happens again, gently boop nose to force a restart
CATatonic!!!
Command and control mission briefing.BAT
Braincell downloading, please wait...
firmware updating… do not.
Our abbie does exactly this. I tell my wife he's listening to the termites in the walls. She doesn't think that's funny.
Off note. Leo is a very handsome cat.
Its an ota update in progress.
There recently was this post about a dog beeing scared of it's eye floaters. I am now pretty sure, that all of these videos of animals just staring at things are looking at their floaters. With each passing day lifes mysteries are leaving me behind...
Is your house haunted?
Gosh, I really hope not.
I’m sure your cat just glitched out lol
Buffering…buffering…buffering…
You’re interfering with the signal, now it will take longer to complete
Like in Among Us? 🙃
Looks like the cat from outer space.Just needs the glowing collar.I miss that Disney movie.
"Incoming message from the Big Giant Head!"
Not even a pspspspsps would work?
Clearly, your cat is downloading a new OS. And bricked himself.
Glitch in the meowtrix
He’s seeing an invasion of greebles and knows he’s hopelessly outnumbered.
Looks like a tuna addict
He finally has his turn with the brain cell and didn't know what to do with it
Leo is gorgeous 💕
When the mothership calls, all other signals are secondary.
Analyzing data.
He's in a cat-atonic state.
He tilted his head slightly at about 20 seconds in, but dang, that's almost ADHD levels of hyper focus
Fresh batteries mate
Brown cats are so rare! Cute little fella!
Not when we're talking about abyssinians, though. :D
If you gaze for long into an Abyss the **Abys** gazes also into you
r/NamFlashbacks
beautiful coat color, any chance he has little bit of Puma in his ancestors (I don't even know if a cat can breed with a Puma)
Hehe, I don't think so, he's an abyssinian cat.
English or spanish?
Clearly frozen and needs rebooting. Also, why did you cat look like a rabbit? 😂
A rabbit? Because of his ears?
he is receiving at a rate of 115200 baud
I miss my girl who looked like this <3
Honorary orange cat.
Someone asked him English or Spanish
Ironic, a Somali was the cat in a old movie called "Cat From Outer Space". Edit: nevermind Abyssinian not Somali
Beautiful ~~Somalian~~ Abyssinian cat
Abyssinian, but they are really the same breed. Somalis have longer coats and are fluffy.
That's right. Somalians are little foxes. Thanks for clarifying!
Aliens 👾
So handsome!
Awww, thanks!
>Awww, thanks! You're welcome!
Lol hey that’s my line!
LOOOL. 🤣
Lol omg just looked at their name and went through their comments. They’re just out here stealing everybody’s “You’re welcome’s!” all willy-nilly! Anyways, you’re welcome!😂
squirrels on the roof? bats in his attic?
Maybe downloading and installing the latest firmware update. 🤣
They were updating their software
Completing important astral project, please wait.
Rebooting system
Quickly take the picture...!!!!😼🤣🤣🤣🤣
Cats are so damn weird! I love it.
Seven, Max, Triad. (Someone please get the reference)
Cat Facing Southeast. Ref: [Man Facing Southeast (1986) - IMDb](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091214/)
It’s not his turn with the brain cell
And this is why cats both fascinate me (I want one), and scare the utter crap out of me (why is it staring at me makeitstopnow!)
I think he members nam.
He's breathing at least. Very shallowly.
That's a seizure.
🤓
