Ah the hyper kitty cat. There's nothing more entertaining and amusing to watch - yet have the hyperactivity go on long enough, throw in a little attack session to your poor fingers or toes, a lot of mid-night wake up calls by way of kitty cat war cries, meowing and darting around the house like a wilderbeast, and this charming behaviour really does …
