Frenetic random activity periods

Burst of energy in dogs and cats

Frenetic random activity periods (FRAPs), also colloquially known as zoomies, scrumbling, or midnight crazies, are random bursts of energy occurring in dogs and cats in which they run frenetically, commonly in circles. They usually last a few minutes or less. It is not known what causes animals to engage in FRAPs. Some veterinary experts have noticed FRAPs are often associated with times of transition, such as the return of an owner. Other non-domestic animals are also known to experience FRAPs, such as ferrets or elephants.
