Why I, a Highly Sophisticated Feline, Push Things Off Tables

Cat Culture

 

This morning Dot deliberately pawed a small dish huMom uses for the chickadees to eat from when she sit’s outside.  HuMom asked Dot why she did this & Dot meowed because I felt like it.

Hi Jerry Underfoot here to introduce Dot who will be writing this post.  Remember, Dot believes she is & always will be ‘The Ruler of The World’.

 

 

First of all, let’s clear something up: I’m not knotty or randomly knocking over your mug or flower vase. I am an artist. A pawformance artist. Every swat, every push, is deliberate. Allow me to explain my distinguished motives.

It’s Practically My Hunting License

You see, my ancestors were mighty hunters. Anything that moves — or could move if I encourage it — must be tested for prey pawtential. That pen rolling toward the edge isn’t stationery; it’s a highly suspicious stick-bug impawsonator. By pushing it off, I confirm if it’s edible or just another weird human tool. Spoiler: it’s never edible. But that’s no reason to stop trying.

You Trained Me (yes, YOU)

Don’t think I haven’t noticed: the moment I’m tap-tap-tapping at your glass, you swoop in with “No, Dot, no!” or worse, pick me up & cuddle me. This is pawfect. I can make you appear instantly; like a butler I don’t have to pay. Honestly, it’s Pavlov’s bell, except I’m Pavlov, & you’re the experiment.

3. I’m Bored and You’re My Netflix

Left alone for hours? No birds, no bugs, no drama? Well, I have the pawer to create chaos. Dropping your knickknacks is my soap opera; with the satisfying clink of breakage as the juicy plot twist. Who needs TV when I can write an entire season in one afternoon?

How You Could Try to Stop Me (Good Luck)

  • Hide your precious breakables in fortresses I cannot breach… theoretically.
  • Supply me with fascinating things — towers, shelves, puzzle toys. Think Las Vegas for cats.
  • Distract me before I get to the crime scene. Throw Knotty Bon Bons for Cool Cats, Knotty Nips for Cool Cats, Knotty Kitty Kicker, treats, wave shiny wands; I can’t stress enough, treats. Basically, become my pawsonal entertainer.

But honestly? The easiest solution is acceptance. I am a creature of instinct, curiosity, & mild chaos. You nose deep down… you kind of love it.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, there’s a pencil staring at me weird.
