28. Sudden Running or “Cat Zoomies”
Cat zoomies, those sudden bursts of energy where they bolt through the house, often occur after sleeping or using the litter box. These episodes are a way for cats to release pent-up energy, especially if they’ve been resting for extended periods. Zoomies are a natural and healthy behavior that reflect their playful instincts.
Sometimes, zoomies indicate that your cat needs more physical or mental stimulation. Regular play sessions and interactive toys can help reduce these spontaneous sprints while ensuring your cat stays active and entertained.
