"Well he stopped hearing voices for a while, but he gets the zoomies every day."

Zoomies

The very sudden, urgent need to poop that happens mere moments before a Zoom meeting.

I got hit with the zoomies before the meeting so I had to sit on a bucket the entire time just in case.

The zoomies

A common phenomenon where your cat has heightened energy and they have no choice but run around the house to burn off the excitement. Causes for the zoomies include but are not limited to prey, and changes in the environment. It can also start spontaneously for no known reason. In the wild, the cat’s body builds up enormous amounts of adrenaline, so that when they pounce, they can effectively catch their prey, but because most cats are enclosed in a house, they cannot reach the desired destination. So the adrenaline (which is now useless) forces them to run around like a spooked chicken until the energy is spent. This quirk happens in the early stages of a cat’s life, and as they grow older and more mature, the zoomies get rarer and are eventually substituted for more sensible ways of burning off useless energy.

Zani got the zoomies randomly today. I don’t know why, but I assume it’s because she saw a fly.

Online Zoomies

People who gather in small groups online, in Zoom calls, to get support and friendship. There is supervisor who helps them learn how to do the Zoom calls and is also there for each gathering. There is a commonality to the groups; in some cases everyone is a senior citizen. or maybe all female.

She wasn't sure how she'd like being on online meetings with people she had never met; but she kept working with the supervisor to learn how to do it. Would they like each other? After several meetings, she looked forward to her weekly meetings with them. They had bonded, and Online Zoomies seemed a fun & pleasant name for them.

The Zoomies

Random spasms of energy that makes your pe(t) go top speed to, around, and through whatever they can.

My dog had The Zoomies while I was running this morning and sideswiped me to the ground.
