Have they been checked for mites?
The "high" stepping could be the snow under foot is cold?

Its not snow. I threw down DE and havent spread it out yet. Maybe the linoleum bothers her.

I changed the black ones diet and shes eating alot and made her drink. Going to dust them tonight with permethrin. I think Pom Poms nails touching the linoleum is the cause. I put her on the floor and she ran really fast back up to the boxes. She does have long nails like her toe doesnt touch the linoleum.

You can always trim or file the nails a little if you think they are bothering her.
It's good that you are going to treat them with the Permethrin, I hope that helps.
