Cats, as we know, simply love to throw various objects off shelves and tables.

We'll tell you how scientists explain this strange behavior of our pets.

Why do cats like to throw things on the floor?

There is no exact scientific explanation for this behavior of cats, but there are several hypotheses.

Scientists believe that cats' natural instincts force them to throw anything that is lying around unattended off open surfaces.

By throwing objects, the cat trains its hunting skills and also shows that it is the owner of the territory.

Another hypothesis is that dropping objects may be due to a lack of attention from their owners.
