Why does my kitten suddenly go crazy with energy out of nowhere?

If she's alone during the day she probably has excess energy. I do not think this is a medical problem. Try having her play with a laser pointer, throw toys or treats for her to chase and try to get her to exercise earlier in the day. As she ages she will outgrow this behavior. Cats often sleep all day then are active at night. Don't try to catch her or control her as when they are like this she may scratch or bite. Remember she is just a teenager acting up, and this stage will pass. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Katy.

Kittens are playful. That is how kittens are. They are like young children learning everything they can about the world around them. Eventually she will settle down. Play with her a lot, give her paper balls to catch and play with , a string with a feather on it. She sounds like a perfectly healthy kitten to me.

She will calm down with time. Kittens are generally very hyperactive and extremely playful. This behavior will continue until about 1-2 years of age but sometimes longer. I hope this helps and feel free to post any additional questions,

It sounds like Cheex-it is quite the character! Yes, this is all normal behavior. Kittens are very hyper active. They do eventually outgrow it. One thing you can do that may help would be to set aside 30 minutes to an hour every day for vigorous play. This will help him to be more calm throughout the day. The only thing I read that is somewhat concerning, is that he urinates on things. This could become a problem and may indicate a medical issue. I recommend to have him seen by his veterinarian to check his urine for any signs of infection. I hope this is helpful and please feel free to post any additional questions!

Don't think so to be honest, it is more than normal for kittens to alternate crazy moments (playing and run around) and sleeping time. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation (where you can post pictures ) if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

This is normal behavior for cats and kittens. They will just get wild and run and jump. Sometimes they jump, arch their back and puff their tail.. Cats can be really crazy sometimes. I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

It sounds like you have your hands full! For better or for worse, this is typical kitten behavior. He will mellow out as he grows up, although he may always have a rambunctious personality. For right now, schedule some time every day to play with him using a laser pointer, balls, feathers on a string, or any other toys he loves. Aim for 10 minutes three times a day. Try your best not to scream and move quickly when he runs underfoot because he will think it's a game and do it more. If he's an only animal, instead of feeding him in a bowl a few times a day, hide kibble around your home for him to hunt - start really small with this to make sure he gets the idea. Try to enjoy his antics and reach out for a consultation if you need more ideas!
