Why Cats Like Knocking Things Over

The main reason why cats knock things off tables and countertops is to get attention. It could also be because they want to play with the item. To stop this annoying behavior make sure the needs of your cat are being met. Maybe you aren't feeding them enough or giving them as much attention as they’d like. To prevent boredom regularly change your cat's toys and try using puzzle toys to help stimulate their brains. Make your tables and countertops unappealing so your cat doesn't want to jump onto them. Remove any items that would attract their attention like napkins, centerpieces, and serving dishes full of food. You can also buy deterrents that automatically emit a sound or puff of air when the cat jumps onto a table. The sound or puff of air is unpleasant for cats and will stop them from jumping onto a countertop. They can be very useful as your cat won't associate you with the unpleasant experience
