HAY welcome to my world, we have the Crazy psycho black cat, AKA "LUCKY". All you will see is a kind of gray blur ( he moves so fast he is not black any more) as he flys past. Full bore front to back up stairs, down the stairs front to rear 1st floor then back up. All you hear is the pounding of paws, a crash, and a hiss from someone he ran over.
This happens about 1 or 2 times a week.

A more experienced cat-owning friend of mine explained what that's all about. Your cat has the 'oh #@&!s'. As in 'oh #@&!s I have to run over here . . . oh #@&!s now I have to run over there . . . .' They all get moments of it. We had a little calico creature with long spindly black legs when I was a kid who did it up and down the hallway with our tabby, so loudly my mom started calling her Whompetty, after the noise that she made.

Limpet had a real thing for long skinny things. Zero interest in anything round, ball-shaped, three-dimensional, all stuff like that. We finally resigned ourselves to the fact we just weren't going to have the satisfaction of buying her new cool cat toys because she just didn't care. Pens and drinking straws for her. To get her attention a thing had to be longer than it was wide, and then it was a dead . . . thing.

The narrator of the video is my son Axel and my daughter MJ is assisting. I believe my son is the one who took the pictures as well.

Awww, hi, Patches! And Hi, Axel and Marylin! Fir everyone else, Grandpa (my Dad) swears Patches has no bones whatsoever, as when he relaxes he just spreads out flat as a pancake - albeit a fluffy one!

Patch sure has become a very handsome boy. Alani & Blaze do the zoomies too but this is expected because they're still young. What I love to see is when my 15 1/2 year old Storm goes into hyper mode. All of the other cats just sit there and watch him too. When he does this I call him a speeding bullet. If you're in his way, he might even knock you over. He hasn't done this in quite a while so when and if it does happen it's a major event for him.

Under the heading of "Patch likes to...."

I appreciate the company in bed, but does he HAVE to sleep across both of my ankles?

It can't be comfortable.

Oh my goodness, what a handsome guy!

This morning we were treated to an extreme psycho kitty...

He was chasing his tail, and was so wrapped up in chasing his tail he knocked over the trashcan in the laundry room, ran into the woodbox, and hit his head on the TV stand. None of the collisions even registered, he just kept after his tail!

Tonight he was sitting on the back of the loveseat, chasing a moth outside the window (and wondering why he couldn't get it). I went over after he settled down to scritch him, and he looked at me rather surprised, like he was expecting to get into trouble.

Silly Patchie! I can just picture that tail chase, and after all, he does have a pretty impressive tail ...

[Lady's Human]

That he does Karen, it's almost as impressive as his jumping ability. LH has a very tall, I guess it would be an Armoire, for his clothes in our room. It stands about 5 feet 9 inches from the floor. Patch gets on the bed and then leaps to the top of the Armour from the bed so not only is it 3 or 4 feet taller than the bed but there is about 2-3 feet between the end of the bed and the Armoire itself. It's quite a jump.
