Why do cats throw things

Gatio playing with ball of wool

Have you ever wondered why do cats throw things? This is something that furry people do quite often, and it seems that they do not quite like the arrangement of "our" objects. Although we think that we live in our house, since we have paid for it ourselves and, in short, it is our name that appears on the home documentation, many times it seems that cats are the true owners.

Let's find out why the animal throws things on the ground and how can it be avoided.

The truth is that there is no universal theory that solves this mystery; however, they are thought to do so because they simply want to go through a path and that object in front of him is blocking his way. You may be wondering, as I have done more than once myself, why they don't pick it up with their teeth and push it away, just like we humans do.

Well, we already know that these felines for this kind of thing are rather lazy. They don't pick up their toys after a play session, and they won't help with the order of things at home. They are like that.

But ... what can we do to make them stop doing these things? Although it seems surreal, the ideal is to pay attention to the cat. Yes really. I tell you from personal experience. In the end, if you choose to put the object that he dropped in the same place, he will often throw it again.

And unfortunately, the "NO" does not usually work ... Look:

But, take it easy. If you still want to try to stop him from behaving like this, although it is difficult to change that behavior, as soon as you see that he is going to throw something away show him a toy that you like it a lot and get to play with the.

Good luck!

      Cats sometimes have very curious behaviors.
      Surely in the case of your cat she does it simply ... because she wants to. 🙂
