How to apologize to a cat if you have hurt her?

There are situations when we do something unpleasant to our beloved pet.

Felinologists have revealed situations where owners need to apologize to their cat for an action that has hurt the animal.

Experts note that cats have delicate emotional sensitivity and can express dissatisfaction for a long time, and in some cases even seek revenge.

Apologizing to a cat is necessary for accidentally causing them pain or spilling water on them when they’re weaving around your legs. Animals don’t understand the concept of accidents and can react strongly. However, by sitting next to them, speaking a few words, and gently stroking them, the cat will sense that nothing bad happened, thanks to their high empathy and ability to recognize the owner’s emotions.

There are also things that your pet may perceive as offensive. For example, bathing, nail trimming, or hygiene cleaning of the ears—all cats experience discomfort during such procedures. Apologizing in such cases, however, is not necessary as it entails a different range of emotions—you understand that these procedures are necessary for the animal.
