STILL no answer ref. kitten sideways hopping, fluffing up......?

The closest that I can come to an actual name is below:

"Cats will often display behavior commonly called 'elevenses,' since it seems to occur most often around 11PM. This consists of the cat's eyes dilating, its tail poofing out, and alternating between hopping sideways and racing all over the house."

I call it "Poofy Tail." Many of my friends and family members that own cats have used this term for years. I did a search on Yahoo and several people there also use the term. There probably is an actual medical term used for it, but I've never heard it. Ask your vet or look at some vet reference books.

I've never heard an actual name for it.

All I can tell you is that my Vet calls it the "Cat Crazies"

I don't know what it's really called, but we call it "doing the Willy thing," named after a kitten named Willy who used to do that.

goggle "kitty cat dance" and youll see it. jason
