If your cat starts scratching or damaging things, it is most likely that he is very upset with you.
However, aggression is far from the only sign that your pet is unhappy with you.
How to understand that a cat is offended by you
A cat's reaction to an insult is always individual and largely depends on its breed and age.
The most touchy cats are considered to be Siamese, British, Abyssinian and Bengal cats.
With age, the frequency and depth of offenses in cats progresses. Kittens and young cats are offended much less often and forgive their owners faster than older cats.
Any atypical behavior of the pet can be a sign of resentment.
An offended cat will, for example, demonstratively avoid contact with its owner, hide in corners, avoid touching, and break free from hands.
It may even lead to destructive behavior – damaging shoes, furniture or wallpaper.
However, the interest in food should remain at the same level. If the cat refuses to eat for more than 12 hours, most likely, he is not offended, but sick.
