4. Knocking Objects Over
Cats are notorious for pushing objects off tables or shelves. This behavior stems from their hunting instincts, as they test whether an object is prey by pawing at it. It’s also a way for them to explore and engage with their environment.
Additionally, knocking things over can be a bid for attention or a playful expression of curiosity. Understanding this behavior helps owners redirect their cat’s energy to more constructive activities, like interactive toys.
