The REAL Reason Why Your Cat Has Zoomies (and What Does It Have to Do WITH YOU)

I must be one of the few whose adult cats rarely do zoomies. Of course my five (a Bombay, two Norwegian Forest, a Russian Blue, & an American Shorthair) who are all rescues take regular trips out-of-doors during the evening and overnight hours to do a neighborhood patrol.

My cats get the zoomies when I get up in the morning and when I get home after work. They’re just excited and need to express their excitement. It’s showing me how excited they are that I’m home, and they get excited when I leave for work cause they know I’ll be back, and they can show me how excited they are when I get home.

[@christophersmith8316]

Zooming after a poo is also a way to put distance between the scent on the poo and the cat so predators have more trouble tracking them by the poo.

[@thelastemperor3704]

My cat does the zoomies round the house and back to me over and over again to get me to follow her to her litter box to guard her while she does her business then she swaggers away like she's the coolest cat in town. 😂

If you feed a cat proper raw food (meat), their poop doesn't stink as much, it's drier and there's less of it. All good things! You can buy premade raw, frozen food that contains a proper balance of nutrients or find recipes online if you're willing to make it from scratch. Always important to include the required nutrients, of course.

I believe the most realistic reason for the zoomies is because they have Pent up energy that needs to be released and they want to Show Off for You.

My cat, when he was younger, always had a case of the zoomies at 4 PM. You could almost set your clock by it. He would run like a maniac all over the house, upstairs, downstairs, over top of my 2 little dogs if they were in the way! I had just called him kitty for while when I first got him as I like to get a handle on personality before I name a pet. When he would start his 4 PM zoomies I used to warm my dogs that he was taking one of his psycho fits. That ended up being his name Psycho. It fit him lol.

[@ElmerCat]

My Henry is a toilet-trained cat, and I most often notice this behavior when he's getting ready to defecate. Dogs often exhibit such active behavior before they're "ready to go", and so do cats! Training your cat to use the same toilet as you do is easier than you think - and it's the best thing ever! I've saved "litteraly" thousand of dollars not having to buy cat litter, and of course, never having to clean the litter box is priceless!

[@vjmarak]

Most of my cats have been indoor-outdoor cats. Zoomies were rare, especially post kittenhood. I think that cats who are allowed outdoor time are better able to relieve themselves of pent up energy while out in nature. The sights, sounds, and smells of nature are what they live for. Indoor cats can often be frustrated by their boring surroundings and probably use zoomies as an outlet for their boredom. Regardless, after a poo is cause for a tear around the house when inside.

[@feeberizer]

Neither of my two cats (12 yo Cody and 14 yo Penny) have done zoomies for years. However, after rescuing a 9 week old kitten, Cody started doing zoomies with little Hope.

Cats will run away from the litter box instinctively so as to escape any predator that might catch their scent. Two of our cats do this all the time. They go potty then zoom to the other end of the house. Their antics are quite entertaining.

Cats can hear up to 64 kiloHertz so maybe they are reacting to the the sounds of insects and the ultrasonic cries of baby mice, stuff way beyond the range of human hearing.

[@Robert08010]

I know that many dogs respond by howling to ultrasonic signals placed in TV ads. Signals we can't hear but dogs can cause them to seems to "sing along" to specific ads. The signals in the ads are intended to be picked up by apps on your cell phone to confirm to advertisers that the ad was shown.

[@rondemkiw4492]

@@Robert08010 This is not possible. The audio sound channel on TV is band limited to about 16 kiloHertz, which is the range of hearing of most adult humans. Ultrasound simply cannot get through, it would be filtered out by the audio bands of all the circuitry from the studio to the the sound circuits of the television. Furthermore, the audio codecs used in digital television systems compress the sound data by removing all the components that are inaudible to the human ear - inaudible sounds to codecs are just extraneous data they don't want to carry. The audio codecs used by cell phones do something similar - the algorithm will just block any ultrasound. Having said that, there could be unintentional audio feedback in the sound circuit of the TV that could be producing an ultrasonic howl around that will disturb animals - I think that's plausible. Furthermore, in the days of analogue cathode ray tube TVs - with powerful scanning electromagnets deflecting the electron beam - the television scanning itself might have caused components to vibrate at an ultrasound harmonic - I think that also is plausible. When I was a little kid - when my hearing was keenest - I could tell if a household had the TV on - even when I was at the bottom of the drive way - because I could hear the whistle of the TV scanning. Lastly, advertisers can confirm if an ad was shown by watching the show. I believe there are monitoring agencies employed to watch tv shows to confirm ads. There is a rumour that Samsung TVs have a microphone pickup - an ad transmission could be confirmed simply by listening for the soundtrack of the ad - but it is only a rumour - it is probably an urban myth. To confirm an ad was shown they don't have to do anything as complicated as you describe - which is impossible anyway.

[@randmorf]

My cat's zoomies often happens shortly after mealtime so I believe it's a result of elevated blood sugar levels. Additionally, I believe this behavior is sometimes a tactic employed by our cat in order to be let out of the house to play. Certainly, after being let out of the house our cat often goes into zoomies mode.

[@dougmiles7124]

It depends on whether they are outdoor cats or not. Outdoor cats rarely run around when indoors but indoor cats do so often. Outdoor cats often hunt, whether waiting at an occupied rodent hole for a resident to venture away from safety or chasing down a rabbit or bird. Indoor cats don't have the same opportunity.

Cats are Apex Predators in Nature. Zoomies are the way domesticated Cats release their built up energy as they no longer hunt. A Zoomie Cat is a happy and healthy Cat!

[@Vilemirth]

This is not correct. Remove the word "Apex" from this description, please. There are plenty of predators, from larger cats (lynx, bobcats, etc.), coyotes, owls and other birds of prey, which will kill and eat a house cat without thinking twice about it. You're not an apex predator, unless there is no other predator that will normally hunt you. Are cats amazingly skilled and efficient predators? Oh, yes! But that is not described by the term "apex". I blame Hollywood for pushing a term they know nothing about.

Number 5 is just wrong. Every pet owner knows what the zoomies are and it is not the same thing as when a pet reacts to a fright. Zoomies are about pent up energy and the need to blow off some steam. In the case of a fright, the panic flight ends quickly (as soon as the cat realizes it is not in danger) while the zoomies can go on for a while. And also, there was NOTHiNG in this entire video that was specific to cats. Dogs get the zoomies too and for the same reasons. My upstairs a neighbor takes their dog out at 3am for a mid-night poo and when they bring him back in, he does the zoomies for 15 minutes. Forget dingleberries; its far more likely its just too uncomfortable to run around like a wild thing with a butt full of poo for fear they might have an accident. But after wards, when the risk is low, they can express all the exuberance they want without any fear.

I do not understand people who do not like both dogs and cats.

I'm 2 minutes in and you clearly don't know why.
