Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / December 2007Why does he do this?
One of my cats likes to get on top of some piece of furniture and knock things off. He'll knock one thing down, look at it, knock another thing down, look at it, lather rinse repeat. The other one doesn't do this. I can't fathom any evolutionary advantage to this. Why does he do it?

They are individules. What else do you wanna hear...? That they were created by a superior being? Yes... I think that's it. That's what you want to hear...

I have one that does that. We sometimes play catch. He knocks the pen off the shelf. I catch it and put it back up. Repeat until one of us gets bored. The pen stays on the floor.

Gabby (my rambunctious male kitty) loves to wedge himself in places and subsequently knock things off of shelves, counters, cupboards, and so forth. I actually cleaned an area off near the desk he likes to walk across and put up empty Tupperware containers. He knocks one off and watches it bounce across the floor and repeats. It's what he likes to do -- not too much else to it. Hope that helps. Signature-Lost Remove the extra words to reply by e-mail. Don't e-mail me. I am kidding. No I am not.

Years ago a friend told me it's a developmental stage -- they're testing gravity. Seems to me mine did grow out of it, after about a year.
