Calling all cat parents: Is your cat sprinting through the house or "terrorizing" your pillows at 2 a.m.? In this episode, Dr. Randy Aronson explains the biological truth behind the "midnight zoomies" and why this behavior is actually hardwired into your feline friend. He and his co-host Olivia Sacci dive into the concept of crepuscular behavior—natural activity peaks at dawn and dusk—and how your cat's evolution as a solitary hunter influences their nighttime energy bursts.

Dr. Randy shares practical, integrative strategies to help your cat (and you!) get a better night's sleep. Using the "A" for Activity from his signature CATS mnemonic, he discusses the importance of mental stimulation, interactive play like "stalking" your cat, and the strategic timing of meals to reduce hunting instincts. If you're looking for expert veterinary advice on feline behavior and enrichment, this video provides the tools to strengthen the human-animal bond while managing nighttime activity.
