How Long Can Cats Remember a Grudge: The Answer Will Surprise Many

There is an opinion that cats are vengeful animals that remember insults for a long time.

In fact, this is not true. Moreover, cats are generally incapable of taking offense, at least in the same way as humans.

How cats get offended

If you punish your cat for some misbehavior, it will behave aloofly for some time.

But not because you hurt her feelings. The cat will simply try to avoid a new conflict, fearing a repeat of the punishment.

The cat will stop being “offended” only when it understands that the owner has calmed down and is no longer a threat.

Therefore, if you want to make peace with your cat as soon as possible, just let her know this, and all grievances will be forgotten.
