Gravity Tests & Kitty Knock-offs

Ah, the classic cat move: spotting a vase, pen, or trinket and—with one deliberate paw swat—sending it plummeting to its doom. But why? Are cats conducting secret gravity experiments? Partially! Cats are curious by nature, and the way objects tumble and bounce is fascinating for their playful minds.

Plus, knocking things over can catch your attention. And let’s not forget: their predatory instincts make them keen on movement. An immobile object? Not for long! So next time Mr. Whiskers sends another cup crashing, just remember: he’s not being malicious. He’s a curious scientist, playful buddy, and attention-seeker, all rolled into one furry package!
