More and more often you can hear that you must definitely ask your pets for forgiveness if you accidentally step on their paw or tail.
But it is known that animals do not understand human speech, and at the same time, according to experts, they are not at all vindictive.

If you step on a cat's paw or tail, be prepared for the fact that your pet will not be paying attention to your words for some time.
Often cats will isolate themselves before re-engaging with their owner.
It is important to watch the body language here. In this case, a lowered tail, an arched back, ears pressed to the head are a signal of threat or fear.
A relaxed body posture and a tail upright indicate that the pet is ready to make contact.
