Why does my cat knock everything off the table?

Every single morning, one glass at a time, while staring at me. Is it attention seeking or just physics research?

Everyone is ignoring the tradeoffs of the table-knocking cat, performance vs complexity is a real thing

Not convinced about the table-knocking cat tbh. I've seen this hype cycle before and it usually fizzles
