Running Through The House
When your cat suddenly bolts through the house, it’s often referred to as the “zoomies.” This behavior is a way for them to burn off excess energy, especially if they’ve been resting for a while. In the wild, cats would use this burst of energy for hunting, but indoor cats redirect it into sudden, erratic sprints. It’s a normal and healthy behavior, showing that your cat is energetic and engaged with its environment. Just make sure your space is safe for their wild runs.
Nighttime Crying
If your cat cries at night, it’s likely a sign of pent-up energy or boredom. Cats are naturally nocturnal, meaning they are more active during the night. When they meow or cry in the dark, they might be trying to engage you in play or expressing frustration at being left alone. Ensuring your cat has plenty of stimulation during the day, such as interactive toys or play sessions, can help reduce these nighttime disruptions and keep them calm while you sleep.
