Lightbulb do you give him catnip?

Indoor cats sometimes go nuts...have the maddies.

Giving cat nip every so often, really settles them down.

From what you described in the past, this is a somewhat feral cat...these cats need mental stimultion, or they go nuts.

Toys like the circular ball thing (a track that goes in a circle with a ball inside), active playing times,
periodic cat nip, and perhaps a good cat tree, really help.

When our females were young we did jumping games.
Making a pipe cleaner into a spiral (fold the sharp ends inward to protect the cat), and doing a jumping thing ...really uses up that energy. We taught them on the count of 3.... ONE, Two...THREEEEEEE toss up across the room.
I had a tom cat many years ago that fetched large marbles.
(choking hazard with small marbles). I'd roll them down a long corridor and he'd bring it back!
Wiffle type golf balls are also popular and easy to catch.
