Is this odd?

I've noticed every time louie uses the bathroom he runs around the house like a mad man.. up the stairs, down then up then to the tub to play. My mom did a little research and found that he could be doing this because it's painful for him to go.. he's done it since he was a kitten and everything checked out at the vets. any ideas or is it just the way he is like "i feel good"?

I wonder. I used to have dogs and they would always do this (outside of course), they just seemed so darn happy that they had just relieved themselves. I have not actually seen this behavior in cas though. But I would not discount the fact that maybe they are experiencing the same euporia. Come on now, admit it, don't you feel better after going?

Punkin always leaves the litter box at warp speed. Maybe he's just warped.

But the other cats know it and wait for him...

Mine do that too They gather round the doorway, and once the cat's done in the tray they pounce and have a mad game of chase.

I do think it's a "ahhhh I feel a pound lighter" type thing. My old cat used to tear around the house before doing a "number 2", so we thought she was just working it out Our current girls often go tearing around once they're done, and it seems like a happy running.

Nothing to worry about - your cat's as weird as everyone else's
