i know a lot of people have cats that do this but none of mine in my life have had this inclination and honestly i feel a little ripped off

My childhood cat was actually an orange with the brain cell. He only knocked over things when he wanted attention or to be let out. He’d wake my grandma up by knocking a glass off of her night stand when he wanted out. If he wanted in, he’d come to my room. There was a door that went to the backyard, so he’d start by pawing at the door first. If I didn’t respond he knew to come to the window by my bed and I’d let him in. I miss him.

We had one (not orange; pure white) who knew to yowl at our (the kids) windows at night, and not my parents.

I found out later in life that this was because she tried it with my parents, and my dad threw a glass of water at her.

u/Efficient-Notice9938 17h ago

Oh poor kitty :( they’re much smarter than a lot of people think

27

u/AspiringChildProdigy 17h ago

Yeah, I was very offended on her behalf.

8

u/Efficient-Notice9938 17h ago

I would have been too. She deserved better. My cat was having urinary issues towards the end and wouldn’t let us take him to the vet until it was too late. Part of me still blames myself, like if I had gotten him treatment sooner he would’ve lived longer.

u/aakaase 16h ago

Yeah they know knocking things over forces the hooman to pay attention to them

14

u/aakaase 16h ago

I've never had a cat do it until now. Trust me: you're not missing anything. It's very irritating.

7

u/starlinguk 15h ago

It's attention seeking behaviour.

6

u/aakaase 15h ago

Absolutely, and it works lol

4

u/Phormitago 10h ago

Count your blessings, it's really really annoying and occasionally expensive

2

u/elakah 8h ago

My cat only does it when things are dangerously close to the edge and they're small enough to be pushed over.
I can trigger that instinct by taking a bottle cap and just putting it near an edge and 9 times out of 10 he's gonna push it over lmfao

u/n6mub Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 17h ago

Cats are tiny physicists in furry bodies. Constantly checking catculations on grabity, velocity, and solar energy.

They do so much for science, but you have the gall to call your kitty Muffins? Shame on you! That's Dr. Muffins to you sir. Good day!

5

u/luchajefe 23h ago

To be fair, this is a much more interesting name.

7

u/luchajefe 23h ago

Actually, this is a sub you can add cats falling to! It's multi-purpose!

7

u/TheLordOfFriendZone Casual orange enjoyer 🍊 22h ago

Good idea. Btw r/miscatculations also covers cats falling or failing in general.

u/AllHailTheCeilingCat 17h ago

Subscribed to both. Because why not.

u/Miami_Mice2087 1d ago

Most importantly, he learned how to get mommy's attention. This will lead to pets and treats, right?

u/ImpracticalCatMom Proud owner of an orange brain cell 1d ago

Yeah, that's still working. Will keep checking, just to make sure the Earth gravitational forces are up and running 😸

u/Emotional-Plum-164 1d ago

My cat isn't orange but he'll go through several stages each morning in order to make me rise. Starts with purring and poking in the face or any body part that isn't under the cover. Once I'm curled under the duvet he'll scratch the wooden head board before climbing on it and diving onto me as I lay laughing. He'll then start knocking stuff off of the bedside counter and depending on the time I either feed him or shut him out

u/krikzil 1d ago

I love how cats stare at what they’ve just knocked to the ground.

u/TheHistorian2 15h ago

Any good scientist knows that results must be verified repeatedly to ensure a theory is accurate.

u/sorandomono 1d ago

Lmao the way he pushed the second test subject off was brilliant. What a scientist

3

u/stonehearthed 1d ago

He is testing the limits of the human, observing the human after every push.

u/Waste_West283 11h ago

I love how he looks at the camera for some sort of validation after every swipe!

The cat was targeting the items that are getting more attention than him. His looks: “Understood? You want more?”

u/Spiritual_Scallion91 23h ago

Like all great scientist, they also repeated the experiment to confirm the results

If my orange knows an object on a surface will make a great sound of he gets it onto the floor, it’s gone forever or always hidden away.
