Even cat lovers sometimes run out of patience when their pets start acting up.

For example, animals have a habit of throwing things off the table. And they do it clearly on purpose, with interest and with the most innocent eyes.

Is it worth scolding for this and how can we explain the stubborn desire of cats to throw things lying on the table off it?

By throwing a thing that the owner needs off the table, cats can hide it or use it for entertainment.

But they do this not at all out of malice or a desire to harm a person.

Experts have long called for not identifying animals with people, because they do not know how to take revenge or deliberately plan any actions (at least, this is what is commonly believed in the human world).

Cats behave this way, guided solely by their hunting instinct.

Experts say that even a well-fed cat will be naughty.

She will do this not for the purpose of satisfying her food needs, but rather to test the strength of her blow or to feel like a hunter.
