1. Your cat is just bored and curious
Cats are curious beings, and every time something changes around the home or in the environment that they live in, the first thing that they do is do a little bit of exploring. They want to know what has happened and discover every little change that has occurred.
Is that a new pillow on the couch? Or is that a new plant? Your cat wants to know everything. Somehow, all of this investigation becomes a game for your cat, and they might start to do what you fear most: knock things over. Glasses, cups, pencils – all of these objects become mental stimulation for her.
But besides being so curious, your cat also gets bored pretty easily. She needs a lot of entertainment in her life, and when she doesn’t have it, guess what? Your cat knocks things over! That’s what happens! Yeah, sometimes this can be amusing, but other times, let’s say when she breaks your favorite vase or destroys another beautiful item, things are not that funny anymore.
If you want to prevent this from happening, you should try to do your best to keep your cat happy and entertained. This means you can buy more toys and spend more time playing with your cat. An hour per day is more than enough.
