I believe that most owners have seen cats suddenly run wild at home. Some owners are surprised. Why is that? In fact, after you have had a cat for a long time, you will realize that the cat "running crazy" all over the house is giving you a signal.

In fact, there is a professional term to describe cat running wildly in European and American countries, Frenetic random activity periods, FRAPs for short, refers to the crazy activities of cats in a short period of time. Used to refer specifically to the wild running behavior of cats.
Why do cats run wild all over the house?

(1) Hunting
Hunting is the instinct of cats. They are born to love hunting. If they see a bug in motion, the cat will seize the opportunity and chase the bug that is flying around like crazy, and the bug is very small. , if the owner cannot see clearly for a while, he will be confused as to why the cat is running wildly. In fact, it is hunting. Don’t be ignorant~

(2) Release energy
Cats are explosive animals. When they are not exercising, they sleep to store energy. Cats spend most of their time sleeping. Once they wake up, there is nowhere to release the energy in their bodies, especially in captivity. Cats, if they don’t need to hunt, will release excess energy in their bodies by running like crazy~

(3) Get rid of body odor
You will find that the cat has such a phenomenon, that is, after the cat has finished burying the feces, it will run wildly for a while. In fact, it does this to get rid of the smell of the remaining poop on its body. This operation is because the cat feels that if the smell of its own poop is too strong, it will reveal its whereabouts and usher in the discovery of natural enemies, so it will deliberately run wildly to get rid of the smell on its body~
(4) In heat
Cats generally start to go into heat around 6 months old. If a cat in heat is uncomfortable and cannot find a suitable mating partner, the cat will run wildly to release the pressure in its heart, which will make it feel better~ If you If the cat is in estrus, if there is no plan to have children, it is recommended to take it for sterilization as soon as possible. Sterilization can save the cat from the pain of estrus and prolong the life of the cat.

(5) A lot of pressure
When a cat encounters a new environment or something that it cannot adapt to, the cat is emotionally tense, and the cat is full of pressure. If there is nowhere to release it, the cat will run wildly to release its pressure.
