The kittens had just turned 4 weeks old and were getting really frisky. My biggest kitten named Spike was rolling and jumping all around so I had taken quite a few photos of him.

Animals react badly to things like a brilliant flash of light.

Every story about seizure inducing lights involve rhythmic lights flashing very quickly. It could just be coincidental that the kitten had a seizure while she was taking pictures.
