Thanks for your reply, it would be hard to video as he is so quick at it.

Oh I'm wrong then, this is different than what I was thinking of.
I've only seen it where one leg was involved, sort of a spastic kick or two, or even a shake like humans do if an arm has gone asleep or something like that.
Have you had a chance to talk to your vet?

He's going for his yearly check up in a week or so I will ask the vet then.

If he is kicking something like a toy or you with both feet , yes it is play and nothing to worry about. If he is kicking both feet with nothing there then for certain discuss with vet.

Yeah, catnip filled toys are great for that. That would be better than your wife's head. :lol:
