你有没有过这样的经历?

Even though I did nothing, the master suddenly started running wildly.

is not the kind of jogging to eat, happy version...

is not the kind of panic after being scared...

is the kind of thrilling, glowing eyes, and suddenly running around in the room...

The master who can sit and never stand, and who can lie down and never sit, seems to suddenly burst out with huge energy, and starts running wildly inside and outside the house:

Jump up and down at home, and even teasing other family members:

At this time, I believe you are like snail noodles, facing your master suddenly "crazy", confused, and want to ask with a true feeling, what's wrong with your master?

In a certain way, the question of "Why do cats run wildly" has 400,000 views. On the foreign forum Reddit, there are more than 1 million members of the theme group about animals suddenly showing crazy behavior.

Where are all curious about the mysterious behavior of cats, both at home and abroad.

For cats running wildly, there is actually a proper noun in English-speaking countries: Frenetic random activity periods, crazy random activity time, referred to as FRAPs. Refers to the crazy activities of animals in a short period of time.

There are also popular names: zoomies, scrumbling, and midnight crazies.

In German, the Germans call it: "Wilden fünf Minuten" (five minutes of wildness).

In Russian, the Russian Russians call this phenomenon that occurs in cats "тыгыдык":

"тыгыдык". According to a Russian friend who is not very reliable in snail noodles, the word means "a galloping horse".

The first thing people noticed was in dogs.

Applied animal behavior expert Jill Goldman believes that dogs will behave this way because they need to release accumulated energy.

There are similar reasons for cats' crazy running behavior: they sleep for 16 hours a day and eat freely more than 10 times, all of which are accumulating energy. After accumulating so much energy, you need a chance to release it.

So, crazy running usually occurs after a cat sleeps for a long time or eats. For example, after you go home and wake up the cat that has been sleeping for 8 hours. The

Catster website believes that among cats, whether they are lions, cheetahs, tigers, or cats, they are accustomed to bursting out huge energy to hunt in a short period of time. For example, when cheetah hunts, it accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 3 seconds.

"Suddenly crazy activities in a short period of time" itself is in line with cats' exercise habits. When cats accumulate enough energy by eating, drinking, sleeping, sleeping, sleeping, and sleeping, they will naturally choose anaerobic exercise that explodes in a short period of time.

It is normal for cats to run wildly for about five minutes a day. At this time, the shoveler should stay in place and not walk around. Put away the sharp objects at home and make room for the cat's daily exercise.

Some behaviorists also point out that frequent crazy runs (referring to more than twice a day) may be due to excessive stress in cats. If you also experience excessive hair licking, long-term drowsiness, loss of appetite, etc., you need to pay attention to the shoveler.

If the cat always runs wildly after the bowel movement, the cat owner also needs to pay attention to whether the cat has abnormal bowel movements and whether there are any symptoms of pain during bowel movements.

In a multi-cat family, sometimes a cat starts to exercise wildly, which will lead other members of the family to join. As long as there is no fierce conflict, it will be a small problem. The shoveler only needs to raise his mobile phone and smile to watch.
