Coconut does the same thing, if he wants attention and is not getting it, he will jump up on the entertainment center and stare at you and swipe things off, one by one. What's funny is that he usually meows first to get our attention, I will say "don't you dare" and he'll look defiant and do it anyhow. Sometimes its amusing and sometimes its irritating.....lol. This is also how he gets me up if I dare to sleep in past 5:30am. He'll start by meowing, if that doesn't work he jumps on the opposite side of my pillow to catapult my head up, (that usually works....lol) but if I still ignore him then he'll start knocking things off the dresser. He's such a stinker, but I love him anyhow
Sundar walks along the window ledge where I keep various (unbreakable.. I learnt the hard way) ornaments, looks at me and swipes one off with his paw. Then he just keeps going. He is SO naughty but it cracks me up every time.
