My Mom just called and she said pretty much the same thing. Deal with it. But pills are an option if it happens often.
I gotcha. I notice on our cat, she has really thick fur on her back around her tail area. If I take some clippers and shave it down, it seems to slow down the frequency. I am still keeping up with it to make sure it's not a fluke. I noticed it because she seems to freak out a little bit about licking that area and it's hard for her to reach. I think it's called "rolling back syndrome" or something to that effect and it causes seizures in some cats. There's youtube videos of it as well.
