Cats can often seem like truly strange and unpredictable animals to us.

This is especially noticeable when a furry pet suddenly starts running around the apartment.

Let's figure out what causes such incomprehensible and mysterious behavior.

Why does the cat run around the apartment?

The most common reason for such behavior is banal boredom. When a cat lives within four walls, it simply has nowhere to put its energy.

Therefore, she often splashes out the accumulated charge of energy in senseless running around the house.

Has the cat's bowl not been filled for a long time? This is also a great reason to run around the house to attract the owner's attention to this misunderstanding.

Cats often start running before going to the toilet, as this allows them to empty their bowels more efficiently and quickly.

This behavior is also typical for uncastrated male cats and unsterilized female cats during periods of hormonal instability.
