How old is this cat? Most younger cats go through periods of time like this where they have to use up excess energy. If the cat isn't spayed, then do so as it helps a lot. If the cat is an outdoor cat also, it may go through these periods more often than a strictly indoor cat. Personally, my cats stay indoors at all times and are spayed so I haven't had this problem. I did adopt a cat that was abandoned and who insisted on going outdoors at night (this was years ago) and she would do this when she wanted out - badly.

You didn't say how old your cat is.
If he/she is very young the "crazies" will calm down when she gets older, but you'll never be able to stop them all together.
We have four cats they range in age from 8 years to 18 months old.
The 18 month old is a wild man, the other three are females and they also did the running and jumping non-stop when they were younger, but every once in a while they still have their little running fits.
They are just burning off energy and playing.
Our 6 year old does it at least 3 or 4 times a week.
So as I said it may calm down a little, but chances are it's never going to stop.

My cats nearly 8 and still hasn’t gotten over the crazies… Unfortunately it tends to happen between midnight and 3am.
We tried water bottles, and they failed miserably. The cat decided the water was great fun, and it made matters worse.
The only thing we’ve found that helps is making the cat play during hours that suit US. If she’s sleeping in the winder at 7pm, we’ll wake her up and annoy her till she plays with us. This tends to wear her out enough that she’ll sleep through the night.

My cats also tear around my apartment when they get excited. If you would like to stop this I would get some very interactive toys for the kitty you can let her play with during these busy times. Other than that I think it is pretty normal for a cat to do this, I think it's just how they burn energy. A laser pointer could be used to keep the cat busy also, they aren't too expensive and it will keep her busy for hours.

You won't stop her. She's just burning off energy and fighting boredom.
My cat has created her own race track in my apartment. She'll LAUNCH herself from the floor to the back of the couch, tear around the couch, launch to the chair, stop, lick a paw, do a rtrrtrtt! and launch to the floor, stop, flip her tail a few times, (very wide eyed too) then take off down the hall, and into the bedroom, up the nightstand and on to the top bunk. Then she'll lay down on her favorite blanket and snooze. If anyone ever figures out cat behavior, they'll be a millionaire.

Don't stop her.This is her way of getting her exercise and having some fun.She is probably an indoor cat.If so it's best to let them have there little fits of energy.I have3 male cats and they are indoor and like to have agood rip session usually in the morning then in the evening.I just let them have there fun.

my cat gets crazy and just shoots around the house like he was on fire. He often attacks (plays rough) with my other cat when he gets this way. I just pull out his favorite toy string and and let him give chase til he pants like a dog. Then he'll go to a quiet corner and take a nap.

Has she been spayed? If not then get her spayed asap as this will calm her down. Some cats do display this sort of behaviour - more apparent in younger cats. Try tiring her out with lots of play when she is at her most active - scrunched up paper balls, cat toys, etc. My experience of catnip with cats is not a calming one but all cats are different. Some cats display this sort of behaviour if you change furniture/other cat familiar objects around in your house. I think it would be a good idea to tallk to your vet/vet nurse if you want some professional feedback on her behaviour. Or you could post your concerns in a pet/cat forum as many members have experience of many cats.
Hope this helps.

Aw, she's just being "mean-wild", as I call it. Cats, especially indoor ones, need to get rid of pent-up energy every so often, so it's purrrfectly (no pun intended) normal to get crazy like that. Also, it helps her to keep her preditory skills in practice. What's fun to do is to join in her play--run past her and let her chase and "attack" you as if you were "prey". Or, just grab your camcorder or whatever and film her antics for a good laugh! :-)

My vet told me that my cat is in need of exercise and that's why he's runs around crazy. Of course he is an indoor cat only so he doesn't get to roam free.
