Frapping refers to a cat's sudden bursts of energy, often called ‘zoomies’. During these episodes, cats may sprint around the house, jump on furniture, or play energetically. Frapping is a normal behavior that helps cats release pent-up energy and exercise their hunting instincts. You can reduce frapping by providing plenty of playtime with interactive toys and ensuring they have enough mental stimulation throughout the day.
