My partner and I recently adopted our first cat about a month ago, he's the sweetest boy and we love him to death. It's been really fun finding out all his little quirks as he comes out of his shell and gets more comfortable with us. One of these has me slightly concerned, though, because I'm not sure if it's indicative of a problem with his environment. Essentially, about 50% of the time he uses his litter box, he'll sprint out of it at top speed (after covering his business) and immediately attack any toys he passes along the way. It's similar to his normal hyper playtime phases, but it doesn't last as long. He doesn't seem upset or aggressive, just really hyper and playful. We call it his "poop crazies". Does this mean his litter box is stinky even though we scoop it twice a day? Is it a territorial thing? Is this just a harmless, fun little quirk?Does he just enjoy eliminating so much that he needs to run around and celebrate it?
Other info that might help; we live in a one-bedroom apartment and he's our only cat. He's neutered and we have no idea how old he is, just that he's between two and seven years old. His litter box is covered with no flap but we scoop twice a day to make sure it doesn't smell. We have it located in our bedroom so he has a lot of privacy when he uses it and it's very quiet. He's also never had any problems with not using his box.
