A cat that seizes and then foams at the mouth is mainly considered to have epilepsy, poisoning, metabolic acidosis, low blood sugar, or encephalitis. Take the cat to a vet promptly for diagnosis and targeted treatment. Feline epilepsy is a nervous-system disease from abnormal brain neuron firing; it cannot be cured but can be controlled with anti-seizure medication.
Also, if the cat ingested a toxic substance, it may depress the central nervous system and disrupt nerve signaling, triggering seizures. In that case, prompt detoxification treatment is needed.
