Hello. Well my cat is about 12 years old and ever since he was young he has always run around randomly like stalking and sometimes he like freaks out and will run away and run back until he gets tired. I have found out over the years though that he's just playing. And a lot of the time he does it on a full moon. A full moon tends to have an effect on animals and even humans. So if you get the chance maybe pay attention to whether its a full moon, that could be your answer.

My cat does this occasionally also. Sometimes he would be next to me on the sofa watching TV, I thought, and suddenly jump and run like he was chasing something. After paying more attention to this behavior, I found out he was chasing a small bug flying through the room that I could barely see until it landed on a wall or ceiling. He is 6 years old and neutered.
