Cat Crazy

When an indoor/outdoor cat is locked up in the house for far too long due to inclement weather, and he gets to the point where he has to release his energy. This is done usually via misbehavior. Cat Crazy has defined symptoms such as the eyes gleam with this inner light, the cat looks around in a crazed manner, so his body language announces that the rampage is about to begin. Once this powerful force takes control of the cat, all previous house rules are "cur-tailed." Forbidden cubbards become mountain hikes to be relished; tops of refrigerators become peaks to be scaled, etc. After the energy is expelled, the cat then settles down for a relieved nap.
