Why do cats knock things over?
#2
Cats have a natural instinct to explore and play with objects in their environment, and knocking things over is often a result of this behavior.

There are several reasons why cats might knock things over:
  1. Curiosity: Cats are naturally curious creatures and may knock things over to investigate or explore them.

  2. Attention-seeking behavior: Cats may knock things over to get attention from their owners or to initiate play.

  3. Playful behavior: Cats enjoy playing with objects, and knocking things over can be a part of their playful behavior.

  4. Hunting behavior: Knocking things over can be a way for cats to simulate hunting behavior, as they may see objects as prey and try to "capture" them.

  5. Territorial behavior: Some cats may knock over objects to mark their territory or claim ownership over a space.

It's important to note that if your cat's behavior suddenly changes and they start knocking things over excessively or aggressively, it may be a sign of an underlying medical issue or stress, and it's best to consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for advice.
