Do cats…not knock things over here?

Really weird question, but when I teach about animals to my students, sometimes we play imitation games where we pretend to be the animals. Whenever we do cats, I'll sometimes pretend to knock things off of tables and desks, and my students are always very confused, regardless of age group, and say things like "cats don't do that? What are you doing?" This includes students who say they have a cat at home.

Then a friend said, "Well, dogs hardly bark here, it seems. Maybe cats don't do that????"

So yeah, here I am.
