Your Cat’s Oddest Behaviors, Explained

Sprinting Around The House Is A Way To Release Energy

Ever have a moment where you hear a strange noise, and then your cat barrels into your room at top speed out of nowhere? Well, the good news is that it’s not abnormal for your feline friend to be sprinting around the house. Cats have a lot of energy, and since house cats don’t hunt, they need a way to release it.

House cats don’t have a large space to run around and have no prey to catch, so they release this energy in bursts of activity, usually by sprinting through the house. If your cat tends to do this a lot, maybe think about playing with them more.
