In today’s experiment, we examine the premise that cats love to knock things over. For this test we will set up a chain of dominoes on the floor, then sit back to watch the fun. And sure enough, along comes clumsy Maru to… walk right past them. OK, perhaps rambunctious Hana will… Um, perhaps if we put some food in front of the lead domino… We may need to revisit this theory a little…

There seems to be greater principles at work here:
1. we as observers all want them to knock them over.
2. cats never do what we want them to do.
Haha, that explains it! Love Maru’s delicate tip-toeing. 😻
I never thought I’d see the word “delicate” in describing Maru. But yes, delicate he is! 😀
Me too. Every time he so daintily walked around them, I howled.
Such careful steps >:3 <3
“Unjust dry food”?
Perhaps ‘undeserved’ as it was given as a bribe rather than a treat?
Or because she’s cheating in order to get him knock them over accidentally instead of deliberately whapping as we’d all hoped
Reminds me of this episode of Mythbusters:
That’s just so terrific, and Maru really is like that around the dominos. Animals! Always more to them!
Best suspense thriller ever!
Maru steps over and around those blocks so daintily… does this mean that when kitties decide to walk all over me and somehow hit all the sore spots, they do it on purpose?!?
Yes.
Put the dominoes in a box…
Genius‼
