Have you ever wondered why kittens are experts at dropping things? Here’s the answer!
Cats have a natural hunting and exploring instinct. When they knock objects to the ground, they’re not doing it out of mischief but due to their innate curiosity:
- Hunting Instinct: Cats tend to play with small objects as if they were prey. Dropping things is their way of exploring and practicing their hunting skills.
- Curious Experimenters: Cats are naturally curious. Dropping objects allows them to investigate gravity and understand their environment.
- Communication and Attention: Sometimes, cats seek your attention or try to communicate something. It’s their peculiar way of saying “Look at me!” or “I’m here!”
- What can you do? Provide suitable toys to satisfy their hunting instinct and keep fragile objects out of reach to prevent accidents!
