Are any of your kitties as nutty as mine?? They will be laying there all sweet and calm and then all of a sudden, they jump straight up, ARCH their backs, and bounce sideways out of the room!! I swear a ghost is chasing them!!!

Yes... I've seen 8-Bit wake from a dead sleep and run around the apartment like his tail was on fire.






Oh, how I've missed these thread titles!

in a pile of open toed shoes!
that's so cute! I can just picture them doing that too! Mine haven't done that yet, but I have seen a kitty behave that way before. Yesterday Louie didn't realize I was on the chair cause I had my legs up, and I saw him and bent my hand to pet him he about jumped right out of his skin!
It was funny, but I felt horrible, I picked him up & his heartbeat was going SOOOO fast.... poor oblivious little boy....he's got so much other interesting stuff to think about (attacking daddy's ankles, sneaking up on big sis, getting into places Meowmy won't let him), and no time to pay attention!

When Jordan really gets in one of his moods he'll go up on my bed & stand on his back feet jumping up & trying to grab something with his front feet. I wonder if it's an angel, or maybe Smokey is trying to tell him to behave better!

Ari has his just after breakfast. He'll be all over the house and then jump and hang from the door jamb.

Ferris saw the tip of his tail out of the corner of his eye last night, and jumped two feet straight up in the air because it scared him so much!!!
I didn't want to hurt his feelings, but I laughed my butt off!

I've stopped trying to figure out why my cats are running around like lunatics. It's always at a different time, always for a different reason, and I swear they take "turns"-- Emma will be crazy for a few days, then Oliver will be crazy for a few days, then they'll BOTH be crazy at the same time!!!

Apparently nutiness amongst kitties doesn't discrimate with age. I've got four nuts ranging in age from 2 to 13.

Smudge is really my only real nut. I love watching him run sideways, puffed up, stiff-legged through the house for who-knows-what reason!

The puppy loves watching him too!

Bob sometimes goes nuts when I watch really bad movies. It's happened twice - during "Impulse" (a cheesy thriller starring William Shatner as a homicidal gigilo) and "Red Zone Cuba" (MST3K fans will know what I'm talking about!). Both times he ran around, terrorizing Freckles and putting his paws on the remote as if to say "turn it off!"

You think that's bad Miniman hops around then when he gets to an area rug he leaps over it all of them
I have no idea why he's used to the carpet but he won't run across the area rugs, it's pretty goofy looking
