It’s an age-old question that (maybe) goes back to Egyptian times:

Why do cats knock things over?

Yahoo says the answer is surprisingly simple…to get your attention!

They use their paws to test and explore objects in the world around them…and yes, they could just be bored or are just “jerks”!

If it’s happening all the time, it probably means your cat’s needs aren’t being met.

Make sure that you clear off all of the items on your counters and tabletops that might be tempting…and make sure your cat is engaged by playing with them more.

And if they STILL knock things over, it might be time to call Jackson Galaxy! #MyCatFromHell
