Hello there! It sounds like your cat has been getting a little too enthusiastic with his elevator butt action. Generally speaking, this behavior is completely normal for cats, especially when they're feeling playful or content. It’s usually not a problem unless your vet has identified a specific issue with your cat.
There are a few reasons why your vet might be concerned. This behavior could be linked to your cat marking territory, especially if he’s displaying it often and in certain areas of your home. It might be a sign of hormonal behavior if he's not neutered, or could relate to overstimulation during petting or play time, especially if it leads to aggression.
At home, you could try diverting his energy with interactive toys or ensuring he gets plenty of playtime to burn off that excess excitement. Make sure he has a safe, stimulating environment to keep him happy and occupied.
Be on the lookout for any additional symptoms like excessive licking, changes in bathroom habits, or signs of discomfort, which could suggest an underlying health issue.
If you're noticing any worrying signs, or if your vet was specifically concerned about this behavior, it might be a good idea to discuss it further with another professional. Consider booking a video consult with one of our Dial A Vet experts, who can take a closer look at what might be happening with your furry friend.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
