Please tell me that this sometimes happens to physically healthy cats. I bet you are a pretty kitty, Midnight - and I thank you for your fuzzy and thoughtful ear on this matter. I feel sorry that you lost your daddy. I think you don't have to worry, though. You will never have a fit like that.
Cats can go into rage if something triggers it - like an intruding male cat spraying outdoors.
Rage behavior is more common in male cats, but is still extremely rare. It is important whenever a cat gets excited for the humans to remain calm. If necessary, the humans should leave the room and stay out until the cat calms down. Yelling at or punishing the cat just makes him more upset. Cats do get upset sometimes.
