Would you drink 2000 flushes water knowing it contained bleach??"Answer: Close the lid, close the door or don't use chemicals. It's also a sign that your cat likes cold water. Throw some ice cubes into the water bowl twice a day and she'll go to her bowl instead of the toilet.As for seizures: Cats rely on 3 things for balance: eyes, ears and whiskers. Cat vision is movement-based - that's why kitties respond to fast movement and not things moving slowly or standing still. Ears are the main equilibium tool in both humans and cats, while whiskers add to sensory acuity. Now blindfold yourself, spin around 10 times really fast, then pull of the blindfold and try to walk. Notice the room spinning wildly? Now imagine your vision is like a cat's and based on MOVEMENT. You'd likely puke and get really scared. Either way its not fun for you or your cat....add to that the mismatched info coming from your ears (which are whacked out as well) and the whiskers (which tell you everything is fine) and wham! kitty seizure. So avoid the "spin the kitty games" and she'll be just fine.</blockquote>
