Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. If she is a young, unneutered female cat I suspect in may be her first heat. If she an older, or neutered cat, this behaviour could be a sign of hind legs or abdominal discomfort. In that case, you should take your Catu to your local vets for a check.
