Why Your Cat Likes Knocking Things Off The Table
If you’re a cat owner, we’d be willing to bet money on your cat having stuck out its paw unexpectedly and knocked over your drink off the table. Whether it’s wine, water or a steaming cup of coffee, you have probably watched your cat throw it to the ground.
Experts think this behavior is a way of cats practicing hunting. In the wild, cats like to toy with their prey before they catch it. That said, cats are very curious and get bored pretty easily.
How Cats Demand Attention
Cats love to interrupt whatever it is you are doing by lying across the area where you are working. Whether you have a book open or are typing away on your laptop, they won’t hesitate to clamber on top.
This is a cat’s way of ordering you to stop paying attention to whatever it is you are doing and to instead pay attention to them. By coming between you and the object you are engaging with, they command you stroke and pet them instead.
Why Cats Ignore You
Cats are intelligent beings but they are also undeniably stubborn. When you call a dog’s name, he will come bounding up to you but when you call a cat’s name, they will more likely ignore you altogether.
This is not because they do not understand their name. It is actually because they just don’t want to go to you. They like to show affection on their own terms and will come and say hello to you when they feel like it.
