I wish I knew,because I have the same problem with my cat.He is certifiably insane! He is the worst cat I have ever seen,behaviour-wise.He is neutered,so it's not that,but he is also deaf,and I think that he is hyperactive.I have a large dog cage in a room just for him,and when he gets too crazy,I put him in it so he can calm down,and to give me and the other cats a break!Of course he has food,water and a litter box in the cage ,so he's OK.He sleeps in it at night ,too.Maybe you should give it a try.

Don't smack her, there are far more effective methods. Treat her scratching post with catnip and every time you see her go after your wall, bring her to the post, take her paws and scratch the post with them, she'll get the point eventually that that's where you want her to do it. It could also be that she doesn't like the post, if it's carpet covered, recover it with sisal rope or try a wood plank like someone else suggested. Make sure it's taller than she when she's standing on hind legs, the taller the better since she obviously wants to climb. The ones with a perch on the top are good because the cat likes to sit up there see everything going on below, make sure it has a wide base and won't tip over. You have to be persistent though, and be patient. You can also try the water bottle method of spraying her when she tries to scratch the walls. It won't take long for her run when she sees the bottle, cats hate the water bottle. Declawing is cruel and outlawed in some places. Much worse behaviour problems can be linked directly to declawing like biting and refusing to use the litter box.

If he hasn't been neutered, that will calm him down a LOT. If he has, see a vet...they may be able to help.
Was he a rescue cat? A cat born on the street is feral, unless socialised from kittenhood--and even then, it's a toss-up. Cats are not fully domesticated animals and revert quickly to the wild state.

I'm sorry that I think I'm like a broken record (for those who remember such things)--
First things first, I'm afraid. There's no way to diagnose either a physical or a behavioral problem via internet. If you haven't done so already, I'd advise a visit to your veterinarian to first see that there isn't any physical issue, and then (probably) to a veterinary behaviorist.
An accurate diagnosis is necessary to determine the course of action.

try & keep him awake when he is sleepy during the late afternoon and evening before your bed time. that way you can get to sleep when youwant to. just keep picking him up and plopping him in the middle of a floor, climbing the walls is funny though both my crazy cats do that..running and jumping up the side of the door way enterance!

That's normal behavior for some cats - I've had a few cats that used to act like that.Try to give him some fresh catnip... you can find it at pet supply stores or health food stores.
