Or is that ‘scooting’?

Zoomies?

Zoomies is a slang term to describe a sudden burst of hyperactivity by a dog, cat, or other animal.

Zoomies? or Zippies? [See panel 3]

My dog does this, especially after a sound sleep. She wakes up, stretches and off she goes. I just love it! Zoomy’s are funny to watch.

Can be a real problem with snails, too. The slime trail they leave up the wall is… Ew, David.

Seems a little destructive!!!!!!

It’s probably time for Henry to become an outside dragon, only. I don’t hold with inside pets unless they’re small or there’s no other option.

If I was going to cast this comic, I’d have JK Simmons play the Wiz, and Katherine Hahn play Blanche. Peter Dinklage could be the king, and David Schwimmer could be Sir Rodney.

Better get out your wand and fix that wall before Blanche sees the mess.

What is the antithesis of Zoomies? My cat has both (not at the same moment).

one of the funniest skits by the late George Carlin was on cats; can still be found by Googling. He perfectly describes a “cat zoomie” and the first time I watched it was at a good friend’s house, and he had a cat. Thought we were both going to die laughing. BUT, not 10 minutes later his cat did exactly as Carlin describes: ran full speed out of the bedroom, crashed into a wall going around the corner, still at full speed came into the living room jumped from the ground to the top of the couch and smashed into the wall and fell behind the couch! About 7 seconds for the whole thing. Then he casually jumped back onto the couch and with great pride and cooly walked out into the family room -- then he started to "Meow’ as if in pain, which he probably was. Was hilarious, can still see it happening.

Maybe build a bigger house, Wiz.

I would say that a cat’s zoomie is a little safer than a dragon’s. Just a bit.

These days, humans do their “Zoomies” on computers.

Interesting artwork in the first panel. Wiz is always before his time!

Hope the Wiz has a house builder on standby…

Henry is pure cuteness.

I hate to think what’d happen if he had the boomies.

Your dragon needs more exercise. Zoomies only happen to pets that are too sedentary.
