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.



Worse, when you're walking past the refrigerator or cupboard and a cat
comes zooming onto your head on the way down.

Pam S. who's had that happen a few times
