Your cat's sudden energetic bursts, often referred to as "zoomies," are typically normal and can be attributed to pent-up energy or excitement.
- Watch for any sudden changes in behavior or routine.
- Ensure your cat has ample playtime and mental stimulation.
- Check for any signs of discomfort or distress during these episodes.
While these playful antics are usually nothing to worry about, it's important to ensure that your cat isn't reacting to underlying issues like stress or anxiety. Cats often have bursts of energy, especially if they've been indoors and lack opportunities for regular exercise. However, if your cat's behavior seems excessive or if she's displaying signs of distress, it could be worth looking into environmental factors or health issues that may be contributing to this behavior.
