sometimes Raziel goes into the bathroom and sits in the empty bathtub and just *howls*. Spouse thinks it's because he likes the acoustics. #KittenThings

I mention that because jut now he spracked up to the top of the cat tree and (after a few minutes trying frantically to eat his own tail) began howling at the ceiling. now he's in the living room and I can hear him attacking the piece of packing paper on the floor. #KittenThings

@troodon I have not seen this verb "spracked" before. What's it describe? :-)

@emanate it's when something (usually an animal or young person) has Too! Much! Energy! and is Too! Excite! and is racing around like its tail is on fire, then suddenly stops and stares at something and then runs off again, jumping and climbing and vocalizing in whatever way is specific to themselves. I don't remember where I heard it, but I've used it for decades, though I've despaired of getting it into common usage by now. ;)
