zoomies

Frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs), also called the zoomies or midnight crazies, are random bursts of energy occurring in dogs and cats in which they run frenetically, commonly in circles. They usually last a few minutes or less. It is not known what causes animals to engage in FRAPs.Although little data exists regarding the safety of FRAPs, professor Marc Bekoff has suggested that dogs should be allowed to freely engage in them as long as the dog is in a safe area and will not harm others or themselves. Likewise, FRAPs are normal and healthy behavior for cats as well.
