The shapes on the wall confuse her. Probably the way the shapes go across the corners of the room looks weird to her; like an animal or plant or something. Or she might think there’s depth there — like maybe it’s a ledge she can climb. So when she goes to climb it, she finds out it’s flat. And that’s confusing to her.
yeah this is my guess. can’t quite tell if they are pawing at the splotches or if that aim is just coincidence, but combined with the sniffing it makes me think something smells interesting inside the wall and they are trying to get to it.
Greebles.
Seriously it does look like she is trying to climb that wall, but you’d think she would have figured out that she can’t and stopped trying at some point.
How often, when does she do that? Is that an interior or exterior wall? Does she do that when the room is dark, or just daylight? Is there always vocalizing to go with the behavior?
I’m not a cat behaviorist - but a long time cat owner. Usually when mine have done something like that there has been something they want, want to get to, are responding to a reflection off of something else - there’s always a reason for it.
Sometimes it takes a while to figure it out because I can’t see, hear or smell what they can.
So interesting! Thanks. I give her too little credit... She does so many little cute (and very dumb) seeming things. I've discounted it to be her beta blockers making her a bit spacey
But yeah even when you're on drugs you're still reacting to sooommee sort of stimuli!!
To a cat, those color overlays probably look like she can jump on them. Cats lack the depth perception we have. I would highly suggest you install some shelving (you can even shape and paint them to match your decor) because, OP, you have a height kitty. My cat is also a height kitty, and you NEED height options for them to play, explore, and survey.
The shapes are almost resembling fish underwear, she could have a natural prey drive reaction to it, cats also see blue the best of all the colours, my cats love blue things and will try to bap things on the walls too
It does look like she notices the darker shade and thinks there’s a hole she could possibly climb into or a ledge.
Smart girl, she just wants to rock climb.
Her eyes are deceiving her so she has to go check repeatedly make sure that her ledge isn’t real, and she cannot scale the wall via those big black holes.
I see a lot of people saying that it could be the wallpaper with the color and the designs which is possible but I’m thinking maybe though you could have mice in the walls or Maybe your cat is hearing bugs. 🤷♀️
Curiosity, finding out it is indeed a wall, not a 3d thing to jump on. I guarantee its not due to wall paper seeming like birds, the cat would be more cautious and farther away due to them being so big with the bob head sniffing thing they do when curious hunting.
It looks like your cat wants to be a painter! You should check out this awesome book and then see if your kitty takes to it. [https://www.amazon.com/Why-Cats-Paint-Theory-Aesthetics/dp/0898156122](https://www.amazon.com/Why-Cats-Paint-Theory-Aesthetics/dp/0898156122)

Thanks guys! Super interesting to hear your inputs. Yeah she does seem to have a fascination with corners of rooms, and talks to them too 😅🥺 in the day!
We live in an apt, the walls are solid concrete just there, so no mice sadly...She would have liked that
In rewatching the video it totally does seem like she is feeling for depth in the darker tones, didn't know they saw blue! V cool

With blue also being the only color they can see this is a really good reason
This is it! Mine does this to try to open something, such as our cabinets that do not have handles.
My cat does the exact same thing on white walls.
Maybe something's in the wall
yeah this is my guess. can’t quite tell if they are pawing at the splotches or if that aim is just coincidence, but combined with the sniffing it makes me think something smells interesting inside the wall and they are trying to get to it.
yup! mice !

Definitely r/greebles.

It doesn't like the paint job and trying to scratch it off lol
I think they're just active and trying to find stimulation. A bit bored, basically. Take it as a sign to play with them.

I didn't know fish wear underwear! :-)
The notorious fish underwear!
😂 I didn’t even notice that, fish boxers!
A cat tree would be great
My cat does this when there's a spider on the ceiling she wants to catch, and she can't accept that it's out of reach.
Something living in your walls.
She wants a cat shelf there 😸
If he is smelling another cat in season then he will act like this, or could something be in the wall?
She's checking for ghosts maybe.
Mice in the wall?
Your cat doesnt like the walls and wants to repaint them.
Kitty say, "I should be able to climb this..." 😹
She smells something in the wall. Probably a rat or mouse nest right behind there
Greebles
Cat ate some lsd it looks like
Greebles
The shapes are abstract birds aren't they? That's what I see and I think cat does too.

Her eyes are deceiving her so she has to go check repeatedly make sure that her ledge isn’t real, and she cannot scale the wall via those big black holes.
First thing that popped up in my mind too
Cat thinks they’re fish prolly
"THEY'RE IN THE WALLS, MAN"
Our cat would "chase" the water through the water pipes
Touch tha wall.
I see a lot of people saying that it could be the wallpaper with the color and the designs which is possible but I’m thinking maybe though you could have mice in the walls or Maybe your cat is hearing bugs. 🤷♀️
You got mice
There is something moving in the wall. Probably mice.
Curiosity, finding out it is indeed a wall, not a 3d thing to jump on. I guarantee its not due to wall paper seeming like birds, the cat would be more cautious and farther away due to them being so big with the bob head sniffing thing they do when curious hunting.
Bored
watee leak? Mice? She either smells something or hears something if it isn’t a one two time thing
She hates what you’ve done with the place
Bug on the ceiling
Its love for walls and wall paper
Cats being cats
