Cat Forum / General Topics / January 2006why does my cat sprint around house after using litter box?
after taking a dump, my cat likes to sprint around the apartment once, as if jumping for joy! I can always tell when my cat has visited the litter box. She comes running around like something awful is chasing her. > after taking a dump, my cat likes to sprint around the apartment once, > as if jumping for joy! Cuz she's running from the smell!!!

IMHO It is something left over from "the wild"/ They are trying to get away from the odor before another wild animal detects it and attacks them. It's a safety precaution.

It's a safety precaution. i would believe this if cats were not at the top of the food chain. cats have no predators, so who are they running from? >> They are trying to get away from the odor before another wild animal detects it and attacks them.

I am talking about inherited instinct. Cats have plenty of predators (including people) in nature. Mine does that too, at the same time as making a howling noise. He also waits for me to change the litter before doing a big smelly one, and normally waits til I eat my dinner to visit the tray and scratch at the litter for ages, charming creature. > Mine does that too, at the same time as making a howling noise.
