Cats are independent creatures that have their own character traits.

But can an animal be offended?

If you look closely and analyze your pet's behavior, you can give a positive answer.

After all, cats are sensitive creatures. They react sharply to the situation in the house, pay attention to how the owner behaves with them, whether he has time to spend with them. After all, these pets do not tolerate being ignored for a long time, they may begin to get stressed.

In addition, they may be offended by shouting, physical abuse, or even by the fact that the pet was picked up incorrectly.

But how can you tell if your cat is offended?

There are several points here that can help you find out:

  • does not respond to calls;
  • turns away;
  • relieves himself outside the litter box;
  • walks on the dinner table;
  • shows aggression, damages things;
  • refuses to play;
  • stops eating.

As for the last point, it is rare. If the animal refuses to eat for more than 12 hours, it may be a sign that a visit to the doctor is necessary, and it is not about resentment.
