Some cat owners are not bothered by their cat's unexpected "racing" because they are understanding about it.
After all, an animal also wants to run, stretch its muscles and give its body a sufficient amount of physical activity.
If the pet had the opportunity to safely go outside, then such a problem would hardly arise.
Some owners find their cat's habit of running annoying. The fact is that the peak of their pet's activity may occur at the time when the whole family goes to bed.
Experts note that healthy animals that do not have problems with physical and mental health can go for a "jog" every day.
