Mine never do such a thing (lucky me), but my previous kitties would. They would simply get out of control every once in a while, being completely nuts for a few hours and than returned to be as if nothing happened.

I once read, that this is a behaviour normally found by indoor cats (mine were indoor) only because they don't do much exloring of the outside world. I don't know if that's the reason. My in/outdoor cats don't do this, so it might be true...
