Every night this week my cat walks into my room, finds a corner wall, and streches out her arms as if to try and reach the ceiling whilst balancing on the wall itself. At the same time she meows rather loudly, which to me looks like she is trying to get something but there cant possibly be anything to go after. Does anyone have the same experience with this thing and is there anyone who can explain what she wants?

My cat keeps reaching up corners, why!??

I couldn't tell you why they do it, but Enzo has this same infatuation for touching the ceiling
George's new thing is to go to the top of the refrigerator and reach up to the ceiling. Have no idea what he's doing/looking for but he does it a few times a week. Hope he finds what he's looking for!
It could be she's just stretching but if she's staring at something...well...I've had my cats point out many cobwebs in the corners of rooms that I didn't even see.
. A few weeks ago, my cats were going crazy in one corner. I kept checking...no flies, no spiders, nothing I could see. I was starting to think the house was haunted but I came home from work early one day and the sun just happened to shine in the room right and there was a long cobweb strand just waving in the breeze. THAT was what they were after. I hate cob webs!
Melody has done that for years, I just thought that it was a weird quirk of hers. Turbo likes to get in bed with us at night and scream at the ceiling fan over our bed for hours, kinda weird. I think the stretching thing is a way of marking territory and as far as the screaming goes, I think that it is just weird, and have no explanation for that one!
Interesting. My kitty Chloe Blue does the same thing in my hallway. she will literally pace up and down the wall and meow and stretch on it as if something is INSIDE the wall. It is a very small hallway-lengthwise only 8ft. She does this usually at night time. She's around 9 1/2 years old. She started doing this about 2 years ago. Can't figure it out. But what ever it is...it really bugs her!

No cobwebs or insects, but Sho has a favorite corner - right behind the front door that he loves to stretch up on as far as he can. It's just stretching, sometimes the simplest answer is the answer.
My cat was doing the same - the reason was Lymphoma. We were lucky to diagnose it on time, it spreads extremely fast, he is on chemo-therapy now and getting significantly better. Do not waste time, do the abdomen and thorax SONOGRAPHY ! at once ! chances are good, but time is a big enemy !!
I agree. I think this is a concept similar to them ALWAYS sticking their paws through the gaps in laundry baskets. Our Muffin is always randomly jumping up on walls and corners. I always wonder what they're thinking when they do this. I wish someone could make a translator... ;D

I can translate. "I wonder what happens when I do this?" "I wonder what is in here?"
