Do Full Moons Make Cats Crazy? (The "Lunar Effect" Myth)

Do Full Moons Make Cats Crazy? (The "Lunar Effect" Myth)

Veterinary studies of over 12,000 emergency cases show zero statistical link between full moons and feline trauma, debunking the "Lunar Effect." However, owners aren't imagining things. In this episode, we explain how Circadian Rhythms and increased ambient light at night trigger the "Zoomies" in crepuscular hunters—not the moon's gravity.

We cover:
  • The Data: What the stats actually say about "Moon Madness."
  • The Light Factor: How a full moon acts as a "hunting lamp" for predators.
  • Crepuscular Instincts: Why cats are wired to be active at twilight.
  • Managing the Energy: Tips for handling midnight activity spikes.
It’s not magic; it’s biology interacting with the environment.
