Hunter instinct, I would guess. Easier to see the prey (you,probably)
from higher up. Not just kittens, they'll always do this.

I'm a bit more lucky, Meep doesn't like to knock things over, so she
won't go onto high places that have stuff on them.

It is a shock when you are sitting quietly and suddenly a cat flies
past your face as she jumps off the top of the refrigerator or
cupboard.
