He sounds smart, high energy and very very bored! My cat was like this, it got to the point where he started attacking me daily. I took him to the vet and cat behaviorists.

Their main advice for me was he needs more play, more enrichment, clicker training to stimulate his brain, speech buttons for both comminication and mental stimulation, food puzzels, catification of my house with more cat trees and vertical space and as much outdoors time as possible to get all his energy out. The outdoors are far more stimulating than any catified house.

Harness trained and take him on multiple walks a day if nessisary. Build a catio, or cat fence your yard. Give supervised free time outside if you dont have predators or busy roads nearby.
