Cats can be hyperactive or 'spaz' for several reasons. Often, it's due to pent-up energy that they need to expend. Ensure your cat has plenty of toys and activities to keep them engaged. Cats also have instinctive behaviors and may 'hunt' imaginary prey. Regular playtime and interaction can reduce their frenetic behavior. If the behavior seems extreme, consult your veterinarian to rule out any health concerns.
