Nobody Talks About Why Cats Suddenly Zoom Around At Night

The 3am gallop has a name and a genuine cause.

Those midnight zoomies where your cat sprints the hallway have a real explanation, not a haunted one.

Cats are wired to be most active at dawn and dusk, so pent-up energy erupts when the house goes quiet.

Indoor cats especially need an outlet, and a burst of frantic running burns off the day's boredom.

Play hard with your cat before bed and you might just reclaim your 3am for actual sleep.
