If you’ve ever shared your home with a kitten, you know the routine: you’re deep in sleep when suddenly your little furball blasts across the house like Usain Bolt. Up the couch, down the hall, bouncing off the walls — welcome to the 3 a.m. Olympic Zoomies.
The science? Kittens store energy like mini-batteries all day. When the house is finally quiet at night, they decide it’s the perfect time for “training.” Their prey instincts kick in, and your living room becomes Madison Square Garden.
The comedy? You in pajamas, half-asleep, watching a kitten do laps like they’re qualifying for gold.
The truth? Zoomies are healthy — they help kittens burn energy and develop coordination. The best thing you can do is laugh, record the madness, and maybe invest in earplugs.
Pro Tip: Fuel those zoomies with the right nutrition. A balanced kitten diet means healthy energy — and less chaos for you. Read our Kitten Nutrition Guide.
