If you have a cat you have probably seen this peculiar phenomena. You are sitting in your room reading a book or your favorite blog or playing Angry Birds when suddenly your cat, who was a second ago sleeping quietly on the other side of the room, decides she needs to be somewhere else right now.
Your cat is there and suddenly she is gone. You scratch your head for a second wondering what it could have possibly been that required her attention elsewhere. You do not recall any strange noises. No one called her name. No one gave her any catnip. There were no birds chirping. All you remember is she was quiet and suddenly she jumps up and meows like a banshee while running from point A to point B at somewhere around 50 miles per hour. Or maybe your cat was just wandering around and suddenly the same scenario unfolds.
If you are like me, curiosity, which they say killed the cat by the way, gets the best of me and I have to get up to investigate. I saw the ball of fur fly that-a-way so I head there too. No telling how far she got though but not like I am living in a 40,000 square foot how so shouldn’t be too hard to find her. When I do finally catch up with her what is she doing? She is curled up in a ball sleeping. It is as if her urgent business has already been taken care of and I am way to late to the party.
Why does a cat do this? I have absolutely no clue. All I know is it makes me smile whenever it does.
Have you ever seen a cat do this? Do you have any idea why? Leave your thoughts in the comments. Would love to hear your theory on this.
