Instincts of the Night
Another reason for your cat’s strange behavior could be because some cats are nocturnal, which means they are more active at night. A cat that doesn’t get enough exercise during the day may act strangely.
While their owners are at work, many domestic cats spend their days alone indoors. When the cat’s owner returns home in the evening, the cat is likely to be highly active and excited to play. The cat may behave strangely if it doesn’t have a way to release all of its total energy. Kittens are particularly more active.
