In fact, cats have no guilt. However, they react to our emotions when they feel the person is upset or sad. At this point, they’re acting “apologetic”, trying to snuggle up to you…but they don’t attribute it to their actions. They simply see the emotions of the owner and want to act reassuringly. What if the cat really apologized to us? Will he be the first to reach out in peace and ask for forgiveness? What would be the cat’s tricks to defuse the situation if he felt guilty after screwing up? Let’s find out how a cat “apologizes”!
1. Situational assessment
At first, a cat hiding after a misdemeanor will cautiously approach the owner. He wants to look around and know if the owner is still angry. Cats are smarter than you think. The cat’s first behavior will not be very bold. Only when the animal assesses the situation will it begin to use more effective measures.
2. Hugs!
If your cat comes to cuddle more than usual, purrs, rubs, kneads its paws… Know that something has happened, and it is quite possible that he has already done something wrong. Tenderness is a great way to reach an agreement. The cat knows perfectly well that we will not be able to resist its charm. What a wonderful feeling of closeness they give us!
3. Gifts
It may happen that as an excuse, he brings you a stuffed mouse or another toy. He wants to appease you, and in the morning, you will see prey next to your bed. Although this is not a very valuable gift to us, you should appreciate your cat for their efforts. After all, this “gift” is a more sophisticated way of apologizing than a hug.
4. Licking
It’s another form of feline excuse. For example, a cat that licks its owner’s hands is unlikely to do so for no reason. The cat wants to apologize to us and is well aware that if his pleasantly rough tongue gets to work, we will forgive him faster. It is a very intense expression of affection and love – even more intense than hitting and stomping on its owner.
5. “Look you in the eye!”
The idea of creating a cat’s eyes from the cartoon “Shrek” did not come from scratch. When such an expression appears on the face of a cat, one melts. Who can resist such beautiful eyes? Probably only a man with a heart of stone! The cat knows exactly what he’s doing when he pulls out this reliable weapon.
Do your cats use any of these methods? Or do they have other ideas to please you?
