Why does the cat watch so closely what it threw on the floor?
All pets love games that sometimes turn into real hooliganism and damage to property.
Still, we must take into account that cats are predators that love to hunt.
But there is not always a mouse or a bird nearby, as well as a suitable toy. In such cases, the pet begins to look for a replacement. In this case, the owner's things can be used.
Pets love to climb somewhere high (shelves, chests of drawers) and throw down various small objects from there. This is both an element of play and hunting.
But the cat owner definitely noticed that the animal was closely watching the object that was thrown down. You may be concerned about why exactly your pet behaves this way.
Here, everything is also explained by instincts.
The cat may decide that its "prey" is trying to trick it and lull it into a false sense of security, meaning that it can only pretend to be dead. Therefore, the cat watches the object carefully to make sure that it is not being tricked.
If the object does not move below, the pet loses all interest in it.
