my cat's life story is a little something like this:

we rescued him from a farm in 2000 because his mother abandoned him when he was about 2 weeks old. We nursed him back to health and when he was about a year old he got his shots, deworming, and neuter.

Now my cat is two years and 7 months old and he's having strange fits, when he's escaping a situation like being caught to be given medicine or whatnot.... sometimes he starts having little fits... his tongue hangs out a little bit and he twitches his head around and makes a sneezing noise over and over again for about 3 minutes.... after that he seems ok.... I personally feel it's something like athsma but some people have told me that it could be epileptic siezures....

....we talked to a vet and they said they'd have to see it happen to tell what it was

has this ever happened to anyone else? what was it and how can it be better explained to a vet to fix it? Is it serious?

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks
