I think my cats lost his mind? My cat is a 2 yr old neutered long hair chocolate point Siamese. His name is Furball and he is strange. He has this habit of going up to the wall and climbing into a standing position where he leans against the wall and rotates his head around and meows.
It freaks me out, he has several favorite wall spot that he does this. I think the cats lost his mind. He also gets psycho often where he runs around jumping and landing hard on objects. He loves to make a mess of anything he can. He delights in rumpling floor rugs and knocking over laundry baskets.
He will launch from furniture to his cat tree with such force that it rocks violently back and forth. Normally he's quiet and a total lover boy although he ignores everyone but me. He loves his food to the point that anytime I walk near his bowl he races me and he loves drinking from the tub and sink too. I was wondering if anyone else has a cat with the creepy rotating head syndrome.

The picture looks like a very sad cat. Maybe she would like to go outside.

Sixth Sense by: Cheryl
Did you know that in some cultures, it is believed that cats have a sixth sense? So perhaps your cat is indeed interacting with "something" or "someone"...

Meowing at Walls by: Janie
YES!! Jaxson does this too! I used to live in an older apartment complex, so I thought the same thing - something was in the walls. But now I live in a brand new complex and there are definitely no rodents. He will meow at the wall and of course I meow back at him and he looks at me as if to say "Well don't you see it?!" Of course - there's nothing there! This seems to be particularly prevalent in the kitchen, in the corner, where no shadows are cast.

cat in love with the wall! by: Anonymous
Maybe your cat hears thing (real or otherwise) behind the walls. It could be hearing the water running through the pipes and does not have any idea what it is.

Reason Cat in love with wall ; ) by: Margo
Found your story interesting. Our male cat meows and jumps at walls also!
We have watched Alien as he walks along the wall and jumps and meows at it.
Are there any shadows on your wall? Movement in form of shadows seems to be the answer for us.
It makes him crazy because he can never 'catch' them!

Cat meows at walls by: Sherri
My cat meows at walls also. My cat is a female tabby cat about 6 years old. Vegas is a very shy little cat and for the most part is very calm and well behaved. About twice a month it seems she has to let off some pent up energy and she explodes in some strange very active behavior.
Her routine always starts with the meowing at the walls bit. This then escalates into vertical jumps along the wall reaching as high as 6 feet. These out bursts last for about 15 minutes and then all returns to normal. It was nice to hear your story so now I know its not as abnormal as it seems.
