Knocking Things Over
Cats often knock things over, a behavior attributed to their natural curiosity and playful nature. Experts explain that while dogs explore with their mouths, cats use their paws to touch and push objects, responding to outcomes like chasing a rolling object. This behavior could stem from boredom, attention-seeking, or mimicking hunting.
When cats see a reaction from their humans, like running over to them, it reinforces this behavior. Providing interactive toys or engaging activities can help channel their curiosity and playfulness in more constructive ways, reducing the likelihood of them knocking over household items.
