Has anyone who has a cat experienced their cat running back and forth
really fast after finishing from the litter box? I’m beginning to think my
cat is crazy. It’s funny though.

Ye my 2 kits have a mad half hour after having a dump. It's like they're
pleased with themselves or something, funny eh?

Ha, I think it's more likely to be stress rather than the joy of
crimping a good one off - after all, dropping ballast in the wild is a
vulnerable time for the cat.
My cats have a tendency to pounce on each other after a Tender Moment
of Crapping, which adds to the 'excitement' too, no doubt. Well, when
the Big Fluffy Cat pounces on the Small Frantic Cat, the latter just
gives a withering look, and off he minces. When the reverse occurs, Big
Cat runs around wailing, hissing and moaning 'leave my arse alone'.

The only possible reply to this is 'Up the Arse'.
(BTW, I'm not pissed, I'm just posting as if I am, in triplephonic
surround sound).

Taking a good solid dump makes me feel frisky as a squirrel too. Same
principle for kitty.

Gnarly did it only after she pooped. :) Dogs do that too.

It's a common reaction tmany of them seem to have. ;-)

It's pretty common, though I don't know why. My dog does the "happy
dance" afterward, so I can easily tell if she has done her business or
not.
One thing I do take notice of, is if that running around is different
than normal. Kira is a longhaired cat. Sometimes, the poop gets stuck
in her hair, or because she has eaten some hair, sometimes, the poops
are connected. This can be very painful if one poop comes out and the
next one doesn't. In these cases, I have to cut the hair to relieve
the pain. He used to freak out really bad, but now, she knows I will
fix it for her. So, she is much calmer and patient as I get the
scissors and take care of it for her.

Sometimes it could be a sign of a bit of pain from passing dry or hard
stools. The cat thinks the litter box is causing the pain because that's
the only time she feels it, so she wants to get away from the box as fast as
she can.
Next time your cat does it, squeeze the stool - I'm serious - (you can use a
paper towel if you like). Stools should be firm so they express the anal
sacs on the way out, but not rock hard.
