Cats love all the attention.
From knocking over puzzle pieces to sitting on completed sections, cats appear to have an uncanny ability to thwart our efforts to complete puzzles. Whether it’s their mischievous nature or their insatiable desire for attention, these feline companions frequently become unexpected adversaries in our quest for peaceful puzzle-solving. As we all know, cats have a playful nature, and their curiosity frequently leads them to investigate anything new or interesting in their surroundings, so it’s no surprise that puzzles are such a popular target for their attention.
Furthermore, their keen sense of observation detects our concentration and determination, prompting them to intervene and redirect our attention away from the puzzle. It could be because cats dislike us when we do not pay them direct attention. And, while it is true that they are individual beings who do not enjoy following humans as much as dogs, this does not mean they do not seek attention. And the best way to get what they want is to divert our attention away from what we are currently doing. Here is where puzzles come into play. So it’s no surprise that many cats destroy puzzles on a regular basis, as you’ll see for yourself soon.

While I recognise that animals cannot be as intelligent as humans, it is highly likely that these cats do not understand the consequences of their actions. However, this does not explain why some cats went to such lengths to destroy a puzzle. It’s similar to how I can’t understand why my cat is determined to knock over my computer. Some cats’ actions are truly uncontrollable. Their motivations remain a mystery.
