Do cats remember if you snap at them once? (yelling and stuff)
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 : (
When I was a little kid, I used to be horrible. Every time I thought an animal was too cute or something, i’d get violent, terribly violent. I regret it so much and wish I never did anything like that. It follows me in my mind and I hate it even though I was a child. Then a year or two ago, I got upset at my cat and tossed her onto the bed very quickly and hard, and pushed her down. I remember feeling like I didn’t want to hurt her but I didn’t want to let go. I cried after it happened and gave her many treats. Around the same time, my dog got me mad i just smacked her nose but I still feel sick to my stomach thinking about it. Idk if i was 14 or 15 at the time? I would never do anything to hurt any animal now, but why did I ever do it back then? It makes me so sick thinking about it and now I can’t STOP thinking about it. I still never wanted to hurt my cat, but she got on my last nerve at that moment and it happened multiple times and I threw her pretty fast. I can’t believe I’d ever do that. I’ve been hating myself for it ever since i started thinking about it again. I can’t forgive myself and Idk what to do. I wish I could go back in time and never do what I did. She was still only about 5 months old at that time. She means the world to me and we have a very close bond, but now I feel like I can’t love her because what I did. I feel like I can’t have friends, or anything really because I feel like I don’t deserve anything. I feel like a terrible monster and I hate that I ever did anything to a little angel that didn’t even do anything wrong. Idk how to forgive myself. I hate that I did that and I wish I never did. It still wasn’t as bad as it was when I was little, but it’s still not okay at all and I can’t go back in time and change it, so now idk what to do with myself. I feel like I don’t deserve to be around my cats babies even though I love them with all my heart. I’m 16 now and not the same ragey person as i used to be. I had a lot of anger built up from an ex that I was with at the time, but still WHY would I take it out on my beautiful cat. The more I think about it, the worst it gets, it’s sucking up all of my happiness.
What’s good times to feed your cat? And how many times? I’m getting a cat and was wondering to be safe, the cat I’m planning to get is 3-4 months old and is a female (she’s spayed) ANY cat tips is needed! I want to be the best I can be!
my cat was smelling my other cat's bottom so to get him away i like quick "slapped" with the dorsal of the hand on his face and i got afraid that i did too hard so i compulsively did it again with similar strenght that i used to check if he was hurt and i regret it, like it wasn't a hard slap meant to hurt, but i did that impulsively and maybe i exceeded a bit over the limit in which it doesn't hurt. like he definetely reacted but i don't know if he was hurt, like he reacted in the moment but nothiny else, and he's lovey dovey. i dont think he was hurt but i feel bad. because if i did it once as a mistake i shouldn't have done the same thing again. i feel like an abuser. there are many things that are happening to me and im getting overwhelmed and i dont know how much longer i can hold on. because one thing i can't do is to forgive myself over mistakes.
