[caption id="attachment_10197" align="alignleft" width="101"] ©Zoë Kessler[/caption]Does your cat have ADHD? While it’s not contagious, it is genetic. How much do you really know about where your kitten came from?
Here are the signs to look for if you think your cat has ADHD.
1) She’s old but runs around like a kitten
I often think of ADHD as the fountain of youth. Ever notice how many people with ADHD act, think, and often look younger than their years?
If your cat’s running around like a kitten even though she’s a senior citizen, she might have ADHD.

Bwahaha! Love it! But my cats are still cuter than ADHD spouse when distracted or in hyperfocus. Would catnip help my human?
Hey PetWriter,
You never know until you try, right? (Just kidding; I’m not an herbalist but I can think of one or two other herbs that might help).
Glad you enjoyed the piece!
Take care, and thanks for writing.
Zoë
Great analogy with cats. I love cats and am extremely allergic. I had two kittens in my childhood. That’s how we found out. No wonder I like them so! I can relate!
Keep them coming Zoe!
Glad you liked it, Jane49.
Perhaps I should talk about hyperactive Jack Russells next?!
Take care,
Z.
The Jack Russel is totally me! Now that I’m getting older, you’d think I’d want to run around less. Now it’s more with arthritis included!
