Davina wrote to me to ask:

Why do cats get big burst of energy and runs around and chase invisible things randomly? I have an older cat that is always calm but, randomly, has these big burst of energy. Why does she do that?

What does everyone think?

In my house it's the close proximity of my foot the cat's rear end...

Cats are unpredictable beasts.

What gets cats all excitable? The sound of a wheelie bin...?

Best not to mess with the cat-people : they're crazy, ( toxoplasmosis ?)

They chase flies and moths which we might not be able to see. So it looks like they are chasing nothing.
