If you have a cat you may have noticed they enjoy knocking things off of various surfaces, but did you ever wonder why?
Researchers haven’t studied the exact reason, so they cannot say with 100 percent certainty, but they do think three things can contribute to the behavior: 1) your cat wants to climb and objects are in the way, 2) your cat wants to play, and 3) your cat has a natural desire to investigate.
Some things you can do to prevent the behavior: give your cat climbing options, leave open boxes around your home for your cat to play in, give your cat plenty of opportunities to play, keeps items away from the edges of your table or desk, or offer them things they can safely push, like empty plastic cups, balls, or small toys.
