Ah, the age-old dance between cats and, well, anything within their swatting reach. We’ve all seen or heard about it – those mystifying, sometimes exasperating, always hilarious moments when our feline companions decide that what goes up must come down. It’s one of those universal cat behaviors that leave us both chuckling and questioning, “Why, Whiskers, why?” We may not always get our answers, but one thing’s for sure: it’s endlessly entertaining. So, without further ado, here are some purr-fectly funny captures of cats asserting their dominion over gravity. Enjoy!

In case you are curious about why the heck cats knock stuff over now, the short answer is that they are just curious and sometimes bored. If you pay attention, most of the cats in the video get an interaction out of their owner by trying to throw something down a shelf or off the counter.
For most cats, getting attention is fun, and they also study the objects after they do so, in order to learn what happens to them. If your cat is exhausted by lots of play, it’s less likely she’ll still mess with your things, so make sure to play lots with her!
