You leave a remote control on the table and your cat begins to sneak up on you. With his feline step, slowly, believing he is not being seen by anyone, he sits down next to the object and knocks it down with one paw.

But that's not all. In fact, experts are sure that behind this particular behavior there is another precise one meaning.

It seems, in fact, that cats' desire to drop objects arises because of theirs predatory instinct. That remote control left on the table, which seems so inviting to them, could soon turn into a mouse or something to eat.

So your cat sees that object as something from to hunt. He sneaks up on him so as not to be heard and with a paw tries to knock him out.

Have you ever noticed that cats very often make several attempts before throwing an object on the ground? This happens precisely because before dropping it, they must understand what kind of prey it is.

Obviously, our four-legged friends are able to understand that the object is not a prey. If, therefore, the remote control remains a remote control, it does not matter. Your cat will have the same proof as hers predatory talent and he will feel satisfied all the same. But, speaking of curiosity: do you know if your cat is right-handed or left-handed?
