Is rolling over all the time strange behaviour for a kitten??

Question

my 6 month old kitten spends all of her time rolling on her back, burying her head under her paws and generally acting strange, any ideas???

Answer 1

Aww, she's just being playful and rubbing her sent so that other cats know that that's "her area" lol

Answer 2

We have a six month old kitten, and if that's all she did, I'd be happy...

So far we've had to reposition a couch under the stairs to catch her when she falls off the bannisters in the landing upstairs, she sprints through the house and does side kicks off the walls and furniture, she hides under the table and ambushes anyone walking past with a great big dramatic pounce, she has blitzed the Christmas tree on average five times a day, and her latest trick is to try to chew through the fairy lights. Every night, she manages to get a couple of tiny pieces of my son's lego, and spends about a half hour dropping them so they fall down the stairs, then she picks them up, goes to the top of the stairs and drops them again, so from about 10.30 till 11pm all we hear is plink plink plink then a scamper and a flurry, then plink plink plink again....

Be thankful for your lovely little PROPER kitten - wanna trade?

its a kitten, they do strange things.. one of my cats rolls around all the time like a weirdo and shows off her belly and *** like a whore. Its a girl isnt it? LOL she probably just wants attention.. and 6 months is time to get them fixed ;)

Answer 4

It is normal for a cat to roll over a lot. But if she always does it you should ask the vet. I do not want to tell you anything that I am not sure about.

Answer 5

check she doesent have any allergy, generally rolling over a lot means there itchy, or if the paws are going towards the head could signal ear mites, don't worry both are easy to clear up.

Answer 7

Hi Karen...you haven't mentioned if your kitten is spayed. Cats who become sexually mature (usually between 5-7 months) will become overly affectionate and rub and roll when they are in heat. Often times it will be accompanied by constant yowlings.

Answer 8

lol u think thats strange, our kitten along with aparantly others spends ages curled up in a ball sucking her own belly :S

Answer 9

my cat does the same thing when he goes outside. the first thing he does is roll on his back, like he's scratching his back. I think it's because cats have glands all over their body, and by rubbing their back on the ground, it leaves their scent so other cats know it's their territory.

Answer 10

no not at all kittens are very playful and they like to roll around trying to get somebody to play with him.

Answer 11

cat show thier bellies when they are totally relaxed and at ease with thier owners so your doing something right or she could just be playing . my cat used to chase her own tail like a dog their just strange little creatures have fun
