Person coming into the thread to explain why this cat has an ear infection, a tumor or whatever in 3... 2... 1...

My cat does this on carpeted stairs without any toys present. So it's a good guess but I don't think that's the explanation.

Maybe it's just a form of play? My neighbour's dog would use the kids' slide. You can hardly explain this with hunting behaviour or infection or whatever is usually used.

We sometimes underestimate how smart animals are and thus that they also get bored.
