I guess it's genetic. They have this innocent look, after knocking stuff off, that cracks me up.

writing the script or directing. I don't drink water or juice out of a glass anymore, I recycle water bottles. A glass without a lid is nothing more than an invitation to be knocked over. When she jumps up onto an end table or nightstand, it's almost like she's playing some sort of game based on bowling. She gets a spare or a strike every time.

One of my first kitties I had as an adult destroyed several water glasses by this very method.

Kitties ... always entertaining.

Roxie simply knocked the first two off, they landed on the carpet and didn't break. That wasn't very much fun.

The third one, she launched it across the hallway like a hockey puck and it smashed into the wall. That was fun.

He was a "floor cat." The ones in the video all seem to be "air cats" or the ones that love to get up high on things

... by jumping onto the bureau and knocking down hairbrushes and whatever else would make a clatter. It was her way of getting fed.

Cute.

Chester the dearest tabby.

Every stinking piece.

I finally realized it was my fault.

When he started agitating, I would holler at him: "Knock it off!!"

And he did.

He'd do his gravity checks with the clock, the lamp, pencils, glasses, anything on the table. Then he'd move to the dresser and shove everything there onto the floor.
