New kitty has strange but funny habit...

Based on all this, we assumed she must have been a house cat that got away.

Well, recently we have been wondering if she escaped from the circus!! Apparently sometimes she just sits on her hind legs and claps her paws together over and over...like she is either giving you a round of applause, pulling on a rope, or begging! Well, the last option seemed the most feasible until we noticed her doing it by herself in a room, while seemingly no one was watching. Of course every time she does it, the camera is no where nearby

In my life, I have probably had about 20 cats and I have never seen this before. A friend of mine said her cat does this...anyone else? Why is she doing this? Scratching her armpits maybe? No really, any advice is greatly appreciated!
