Cats are not capable of feeling guilt, but they can apologize.
If a cat sees that its owner is upset by its behavior, it will definitely try to defuse the situation.
How Cats Apologize
An apologetic cat will first approach its owner cautiously to assess the situation.
The pet may also look at its owner with sad eyes for a long time.
If the owner is ready for reconciliation, the cat will show affection - it will rub against the legs, purr, etc.
When the owner melts with affection, the cat may show affection even more intensely and lick his hands.
In addition, a guilty cat can “present” the owner with a caught mouse or bird.
