Cats are known for their playful and curious nature. However, there are times when they display frantic behavior that can be quite alarming to their owners. This behavior can range from running around the house at high speeds to jumping on furniture and knocking things over. Understanding why your cat is behaving in this way is important in order to address the underlying issue and help your feline friend feel more comfortable in their environment.
Hyperactivity in Cats: What is it?
Hyperactivity in cats is characterized by excessive energy and restlessness. This behavior is often seen in kittens and young cats, but can also occur in adult cats. Hyperactive cats may run around the house at high speeds, jump on furniture, scratch at walls or doors, and vocalize loudly. While some cats may simply have a more energetic personality, there are several underlying factors that can cause hyperactivity in cats, including health issues, behavioral issues, environmental factors, lack of exercise, overstimulation, stress and anxiety, and boredom.
