Why do cats run around like crazy?
Cats are sometimes very quiet and often lie on their stomachs, but sometimes they always run wild all over the house. So Why do cats run around like crazy?
1. Saw the prey
The cat suddenly ran wild at home. In fact, it is not that the cat is crazy. It is very likely that the cat has seen the “prey”, and the behavior of running wild is just hunting. Cats have strong dynamic capture ability. Many times they see cockroaches, spiders, geckos, etc., and they will react very strongly. However, the owner does not see the “prey”, but only sees cats running around, so they mistakenly think that the cat is crazy!
2. Abnormal mood
The cat suddenly seems to be crazy at home, running around everywhere, it may also be because the cat’s mood is abnormal. For example, when cats feel stressed, anxious, and uneasy, they will vent their emotions by running wildly. Sometimes cats also have a poor appetite and frequent licking. Pet owners should soothe the cat’s mood in time and find out the reason for the cat’s abnormal mood!
3. It is releasing energy
Cats sleep about 16 hours a day, which is a long time for us. Cats sleep for a long time and accumulate a lot of energy. After waking up, they suddenly run wildly, which is actually releasing energy. People first studied this problem and found it in dogs. Experts in applied animal behavior believe that the behavior of dogs is also releasing energy.
4. Do anaerobic exercise
Cats such as tigers, lions, and cheetahs usually exercise and hunt explosively. Don’t forget that cats also belong to the cat family, so the cat’s sudden runaway behavior is in line with the habits of cats. When cats suddenly run around the house, they are actually doing explosive anaerobic exercise, so don’t mistake your cats for crazy, they are really normal.
5. Very energetic
Some cats are always energetic, such as cow cats, Siamese cats, American short cats, etc. These cats are lively and active. It is also very normal for these cats to scramble around the house, because it has a lot to do with their personality. This kind of cat is easy to dismantle. If the pet owner wants the cat to be more obedient, he can use freeze-dried snacks to train it.
6. In estrus
For cat owners, the most troublesome thing is the cat’s estrus period. When cats are in heat, they are very uncomfortable and will vent by urinating, barking, and running around. Therefore, some cats roaming around at home for a period of time are likely to be in estrus. For the health of the cat, it is recommended that the pet owner take the cat for sterilization as soon as possible. After the neutered cat is prone to obesity, the pet owner chooses cat food with a fat content of about 13% to 16% to help control the weight!
