One of the most infuriating yet adorable habits of cats is using their tiny paws to knock things over.
Ever wondered why cats are obsessed with toppling things? Let's go through the list of reasons.
Reason 1: Boredom
The top reason is quite simple – cats get bored, especially when left alone for too long.
Even with a stash of cat toys, if you're not engaging with them, your kitty will quickly lose interest.
So they seek out new adventures, and since they can't tell what's valuable to you, everything becomes a potential toy.
Reason 2: Curiosity
Cats are naturally curious explorers.
They use their paws and noses to investigate anything new in their environment.
Reason 3: Attention
For some cats, knocking things over is their way of grabbing your attention, especially if it's worked like a charm before!
When you pick up what they've toppled, while chatting with them, your cat forms a connection between action and reaction.
Keep an eye out for the telltale glance before the topple – if you see it, you’ll know your cat is saying, 'Hey, look at me!’
Reason 4: Hungry
Usually, cats will either meow for food or come to you, nudging you to their dinner spot.
But in some cases, your cat may end up knocking some things over, citing hunger as the reason.
Reason 5: They're Just Being A Cat
We often try to understand our pets through a human lens, which makes sense to an extent.
Yet, sometimes, a cat's just being a cat, no hidden agendas. It's all about following their instincts.
While it might seem trivial to us, knocking things over could be their way of clearing potential obstacles from their path.
Additionally, it's a form of honing their hunting skills with playful pouncing.
If you find this cat behavior irksome, there are a couple of tricks to curb it or minimize its frequency.
Since your cat usually just seeks attention by pushing things over, ignore the antics and tidy up once they've moved on.
Another big reason your cat plays the knocking game is pure boredom – they're just looking for some excitement.
So if you dedicate just 15-20 minutes daily to playtime, you'll boost their mood and save your belongings!
Your feline companions don’t want to irritate you on purpose.
They’re just being cats.
Understanding a cat's behavior and acting accordingly will help you find less things on the floor!
