Very scary incident

I'm still shaking about this.
My 5 month old foster kitten Ana, the one who has PSS and had seizures,
nearly died today. I'm here on the computer and I hear all this banging
around coming from the basement. Not really concerned, as I have 7 cats in
the house right now and there's always some type of commotion. I finally
get up to see what is going on, and as I enter the basement, I see Ana in
the litterbox flailing around. I think she is having a seizure, so I rush
to her. Turns out, somehow she managed to get a power cord, I think it's
one from a cell phone, wrapped around her neck and she's hanging from the
stair railing. I'm trying to free her, but it's knotted. I run back
upstairs to get scissors. I was so afraid she was going to die in that
moment. Luckily, I got back in time and cut her free. I have no idea how
she managed this. The plug part of the power cord was under the litterbox.
Ana is fine. I held her for a while, and then she wanted to get down and
eat.

Oh my God, Kelly, that is horrifying. I am going to check where all my cords
and things are right now. I'm glad Ana is okay.

Wow, that's really a freak accident. How scary, I guess we can never think of
every possible scenario. Poor baby, I'm glad she's okay and hungry.

Oh my! How awful. Thankfully, you went to see what was going on. I'm glad to
hear that she was looking to eat.

How has ANA come around? No bad effects from her accident?

MAGI had a seizure for the first time in months. heat and humidity
seems to set her off. When the weather here cooled her symptoms
abated. Just recently we switched on the heating in the house (a bit
too high, I think) and a few hours later she had a seizure. Don't
really know if they are related but we kep the heating relatively low
now.

Her seizure occured on top of a set of shelves which if she had not
been caught she would have fell to the floor. Even as an indoor cat
she is not entirely safe! :-(

Poor Magi! I hope she's feeling better. Ana has been doing well. She just
ran by, chasing another foster kitten I have right now. I was just going to
post about her. Guess what? Ana is available for adoption! I talked with
the president of our rescue league, and she said Ana deserves a chance for a
forever home. I haven't put Ana on the website yet, but I let all the
adoption counselors know about her, and to keep their eyes open for an
excellent home. Of course I will be sad to see her go, but happy at the
same time. The new parents will have to provide frequent updates!
