Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Racing Around the House

Occasionally, cats will suddenly start sprinting around the room, a behavior commonly referred to as the "zoomies."

As cats have become more domesticated, their need to hunt, defend territory, or protect themselves from predators has diminished. However, their bodies still retain the instinctual energy for such activities, should the need arise. Engaging in a quick dash around the room is an excellent way for cats to release some of this pent-up energy.
