English term or phrase: fly-snapping
Definition from Glossary of Veterinary Terms :
Repeated snapping at non-existent flying object has been associated in BMDs with partial seizures, in some cases with ear infections, and in a few cases with food allergies. Some forms may be alleviated by seizure medications. A few have been alleviated with behavioral modification techniques, which may indicate that some forms are simply behavioral problems often caused by boredom.

Example sentence(s):

Conducta de caçar mosques


Definition from Diccionari de Veterinària i Ramaderia:
Estereotípia que consisteix en fixar l'atenció, un animal, en un objecte inexistent i, a continuació, llançar-s'hi al damunt com si volgués mossegar-lo.

Example sentence(s):
  • Converses amb el teu germà i descobreixes la seva fúria, parles amb el mestre i et enreda despietadament. La teva dona elucubrant la seva bogeria estranya, el teu gos, caçant mosques. - El pueblo de tierra  
  • Quan la Gertrudis embogí i començà a caçar mosques inexistents i a proferir alarits esgarrifosos a qualsevol hora, a en Frederic no va costar-li gens ni mica que la ingressessin en un psiquiàtric. - La boia de Port Pelegrí  
  • Els gossos s’estan molt tranquils i no borden, ocupats a caçar mosques. La gran majoria de vianants que passen prop seu no li paren atenció, i prácticamente cap li dona diners. - Paisatge sonor i territoris intangibles
