Why does my cat shadow box?

My cat who I think is part bobcat sits on her hind paws(legs). then she lifts her front paws(legs) and starts boxing. Her eyes look like she is in a trance when she is doing this. I have had many cats before and not of them act like this. I even asked my friend who is a vet for the answer. She has no idea. Help|||I don%26#039;t know as my cat does this too|||because it is in the nature of the cat to puzzle us betimes...they do weird things just to make us wonder...which is part of their mystique and charm.


and because they can.


and because they are cats.|||Cats naturally %26quot;see%26quot; other beings that we do not. It%26#039;s not anything scary; they are just more attuned to other ways of


looking at things, and other planes of life that run parallel


with ours. We, two-leggeds, have trained our minds to not see these things, telling ourselves they aren%26#039;t real and rational. Cats have no such problem with this; they get great


amounts of amusement and thoughts from there.


Since your cat is an %26quot;only%26quot;, she%26#039;s playing with others you can%26#039;t see. Being part bobcat, she is very intelligent and


loves to exercise.


If you can, and you think she%26#039;d accept it, a playmate on this plane of existence might be a good idea. Our four keep each other such company, run through the house like


hooligans (taking turns, mostly) and sleeping together.


She just sounds like a lovely cat.|||Cats find ways to amuse themselves that are beyond human perceptions. She is perfectly normal and there%26#039;s nothing to worry about.|||Playfighting. Cats%26#039; play involves make-believe fighting, stalking, pouncing, and yes, killing. If your little girl is part bobcat, she will naturally be more aggressive than the average housecat. Go with it, just don%26#039;t get into roughhouse play sessions with her, as she will go for it all too enthusiastically and scratch you to pieces.
