Few sounds are more alarming, when you have cats, than hearing the 'clink' of glass

That sound makes me jump, immediately!

Madoc was exploring at the bar cart. Fortunately he simply bumped up against a couple of bottles on the bottom shelf, and WASN'T kitty creeping amongst the glassware on top of the cart.

3. Maybe he wants to celebrate my car finally being ready. On second thought, maybe not.

That means I'll be able to take him to the vet for his yearly check up and boosters.

5. Surprisingly, they've stayed off of the top of the cart

And, of course, the good glass ware is closed up in the hutch and curio cabinet.

Madoc seems to refrain from knocking things off flat surfaces until I'm present to witness his mischief.

9. Well, of course he wants you to witness it.

How else can he show that he owns you?

Ember, on the other hand, enjoys knowing that the sound of things crashing (and maybe breaking) will bring me running in a hurry. That's the point for her, to get my full attention. Then, when she has it, she gives me the I-own-you stare, followed by the "So what are you going to do about it" look of defiance.

10. Madoc's facial expression is more like 'What? I didn't do it. Arthur did.'

And, of course, Arthur is nowhere to be seen.

...dish, 9x13 size, off the kitchen counter onto the tile floor.

It sounded like a bomb went off, and there was glass everywhere!
