5 Times Cats Enjoyed Knocking Your Favorite Things Over

In our everyday life, there exists a curious and often entertaining dynamic between cats and their chosen hobby: knocking over prized possessions. It’s a behavior that has perplexed, amused, and occasionally frustrated cat parents throughout history. However, these mischievous instances do make for some funny videos that everyone can enjoy (except the cat parent who has to clean up!).

This isn’t just one kitten, but two! Both Leo and Phela love seeking out and knocking over their parents’ water glasses. According to their mom and dad, they are obsessed with water — which is unlike most cats.

2. TV Tumble

In seven seconds, you can see the human’s life flash before his eyes. He is laying on the ground, getting a quick workout when his feline friend pushes a TV over onto him.

3. Wreaking Havoc On Plants

This set of cats acted together destroying their parent’s plants. The narration starts with their mom saying that she could see all of the ruined plants on the ground. When she stepped into the sunroom, both cats were laying down peacefully after all of their hard work.

4. The Nightstand Ruiner

Tasha has a vendetta against anything her parents place on the nightstand. From contact lens cases to books, she seems to want to keep the space nice and clear. At the end of the video, though, she meets her match and backs down!

5. Coffee Table Clean Up

This comical video shows a beautiful cat first knocking a remote off of the coffee table while their parents watch TV. Then, they begin to push a glass. They stop for a moment when they’re told no, but then they decide to follow through with their plan anyway.

In the world of cats and their antics, knocking over our stuff has its own special place. These instances might make us scratch our heads, but they also make us smile. Each one of these cats had a plan that they followed through with. Although, no one knows why!
