Do cats remember negative experiences like being yelled at?
Idk
Do cats remember if you snap at them once? (yelling and stuff)

I do a lot of research regarding cats . My current cat I have had her for 13 years . Cats are sensitive creatures try to avoid any harshness towards them attempt being gentle as best as possible. Adult cats have the intelligence of a two year old child overall.
I think even if the kitty remembers, they will be able to forgive. It doesn’t sound like you’ve done enough for the cat to be fearful of you forever. Just give some extra love and affection and I’m sure itll be fine :)
I never yelled at my cat, but today I had to get it out of the house since its and outdoors cat. I was really in a hurry and he would hide and run away from me. When I yelled at him and chased him I think he looked scared. do cats remember this forever?
@ocdnomoree Remember that you are obviously much bigger than your cat and even if you didn’t yell, it could still be frightened by a large figure running at them. As for them remembering, I doubt they remember that as they don’t have the cognitive ability to understand holding grudges. Yelling once might have startled it in the moment but nothing more. I’ve had my fair share of moments like that and I regret it too. I’ve also stepped on my cats tail on accident in the dark. However, my cat doesn’t understand what accidents are, just that I stepped on it. You learn to let that go. We love our furry animals :)
later today I found him dead at the side of the road... now he's dead cause of me
now he's buried, I hope he rests well : (
was hugging my cat and she got annoyed and meowed and i got sad and thought how could anyone hurt any animals then i start getting thoughts like u want to hurt one u want to really hurt one even ur own cats and it made me scared but i have little anxiety it made me sad tho. when i was little i had kicked my dog and that came up in my memories and now im scared i will hurt my pets. when i was younger i was weird and i have memories spaced out of me doing weird/bad stuff that i would never do now but it makes my ocd worse. I hate this :(
I was basically having a breakdown arguing with my family, I was in the phone and my cat kept coming towards my feet meowing and I got mad and used my foot to push her out the door but she kinda went far and she went meow:( I slammed the door and I feel so f-ing bad I feel like I hurt her and im an abuser :( ive never done anything like this. I pushed her really hard with my foot. I know I didn’t kick her but what if the push really did hurt her:( im crying so bad im supposed to go on vacation today I don’t want to leave her
Having a recurring intrusive thought that im evil bc when i was 14 i was dog sitting and I was told by the owner to tug on the dogs leash when he would stop walking to keep him moving. Well I did that and he was very stubborn so I remember tugging harder than I should have out of impatience which makes me hate myself so much. The problem is I can’t remember the specifics of the memory like how hard it was or if he was hurt. I do remember him coughing which is terrifying. Like half a year later he passed away and I’m always scared that I hurt him. He was old and I hate myself for being so impatient. I just wish I could remember correctly. How do I live with myself?
