Your cat looked you dead in the eye and pushed it off anyway.
Calculate the true financial cost of living with a creature who has no regrets.
Cats knock things over for several reasons: they're testing cause and effect, practicing hunting instincts, seeking attention, or simply because they can and they know it bothers you. Studies suggest cats understand that pushing something off a surface will get your attention. They're not doing it by accident. They are doing it on purpose. This calculator simply helps you understand the financial consequences of that decision.
Provide more enrichment, interactive toys, and climbing structures. A cat that's engaged is less likely to seek chaos — though no guarantees. This is a general reference, not behavioral advice; consult a vet or cat behaviorist for serious concerns.
The math is real. The remorse is not. Your cat has none.
