Even by cat standards, she's insane.
When she's done using the litterbox she'll run all around my apartment at full speed sliding around on the floor. Then she'll stop, anxiously looking around in all directions, meow in these short bursts that almost sound like barks, and then take off again running as fast as she can.
And if I ask her what the f she's doing, she looks at me like I'm the one that's nuts.

Of course she thinks you're nuts -- you're talking to a CAT! :>)

We have our cat's litterbox in the basement- and we always know when Max has done 'number 2'. He shoots up the stairs, does a high-speed circuit around the house, and then settles down.
The act of elimination must be very exhilarating for felines. 
Napoleon, don\'t be jealous that I\'ve been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I\'m training to be a cage fighter.

It's not a problem with inflammation is it? Like, cat hemorrhoids causing them so much discomfort that they have to zip around dragging their butts across the floor (I've seen dogs do that...yucko!)?
Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath. This made him...a super-callused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

No, there is nothing gross about the behavior. She just wants to run around like she's being chased. She's a freak. She also has a habit of knocking over whatever it is I don't want her to knock over.
Oh, and she is obsessed with my laptop bag. If I leave it open on the counter I will invariably find her sleeping in it. I've actually considered buying a new one and just giving in and letting her have that one as some kind of bed. But that bugs me. I already had to buy a second lint roller as I'm cleaning the cat hair out of it on a near daily basis.

Josh,
Do not expect your cat to grow out of this when it gets older. Our male cat is 15 years old, and still every once in awhile he will prick his ears up and start tearing around the house for no apparent reason. Our female cat (his litter mate) looks at him like he's nuts, too.

My cat is over 10 years old, and he'll shoot out of my bedroom, tear around the corner into the hallway, go into the other bedroom and jump on the big foam mattress and attack it. This happens less and less as time marches on, but it does still happen.

Cool picture and a fine looking cat. Hard wood floors, perfect for kitty sliding.  Does she ever slide out of control into walls, etc.

Hmmmm, this makes me think of the stick-being-removed-from-ass line used in movies. The pet in question must be "loosening" up.
I find dogs get really hyper in the morning, especially after the alarm clock goes off!
