If you have a cat, you have probably noticed more than once that the pet likes to knock over objects from tables and other surfaces. In the article, you will learn why cats like to do this and how to stop this behavior.
Why does a cat throw things off the table
As a rule, this behavior occurs for two reasons: the cat is bored and she wants to play or get your attention.
If your cat is frequently dropping items, make sure all of your pet's needs are met.
Perhaps the cat does not have enough toys in the house or time for joint games.
Sometimes a cat signals in such a way that you forgot to feed it.
In addition, young cats can explore the world around them in this way and explore new objects.
How to stop this cat behavior
First, provide your cat with toys, interactive games, mazes, and treats.
Second, make the table surface unattractive or intimidating.
For example: hide small items in storage baskets, remove hanging items from hooks, remove plates of food from the table.
If this method does not work, use repellents:
- Place things on the table that make sound.
- Use items that spray or weather the area around.
- Cats will get scared and will no longer want to climb on the table.
Some products can be purchased at the pet store.
Remember about the safety of the cat, do not leave in the open access objects that can injure or injure the animal.
