Knowing what you've done wrong can help you decide how to approach the cat and how to apologize. Here are some examples of situations in which you have hurt your cat and what you can do to show that you know the mistake:
   • If you have teased your cat, you should probably reward it with treats and compliment it.
   • If you accidentally step on the cat's tail or startle it by dropping the pot, perhaps a simple petting is enough.
   • If you take your cat's favorite spot on the sofa, leave the spot and give your cat a treat she likes.

3. 

   
   
   Slowly approach the cat. If the cat runs away from you, it is probably still angry, confused, or scared. Don't chase the cat, but wait a few minutes and try again. This will reassure your cat that you will not do any further harm to it or disturb it. You can also reassure your cat by being willing to treat it with treats.

4. 

   
   
   Talk to your cat. Tell the cat, "I'm sorry." You can even name it. Remember to speak in a calm, calm voice, with a tone a little higher than usual. Your cat may not understand what you are saying, but it will understand your voice. Do not speak loudly in a shrill voice; Your cat's hearing is very sensitive, and you may be uncomfortable.
   • Try to blink slowly. A cat of trust often blinks slowly. You can show your cat that you trust him by blinking slowly.

5. 

   Gently petting the cat where it is interested. Be sure to pay attention to your cat's mood; Do not cuddle the cat if it appears angry or irritable. See the cat's body language reading in this article to learn how to determine your cat's mood. If you don't know where your cat likes to be petted, here are a few suggestions:
   • Scratch behind the cat's ear. An even better place is the space between the cat's eyes and ears. Gently use your fingertips to stroke the fluffy area of ​​the cat in that area.
   • Scratch the bottom of the cat's cheeks and close it against her cheek. The cat may forgive you and may even start rubbing your hand.
   • Scratch at the base of the cat's tail. Place your fingers on the base of the cat's tail, where the tail and back is, and wiggle your fingers, gently scratching with your fingertips.
   • Caress the cat's head, back, and chest. However, keep in mind that not all cats like to be cuddled in these regions. Observe your cat's body language carefully for signs of discomfort.

6. 

   Play with your cat. Your cat may be upset because you are not spending enough time with it. If your cat has an active personality, you should play around with it - however most cats love to play catch-up. Here are some cat games:
   • Throw a piece of cellophane or curled paper at the cat. You can also substitute a toy mouse, but don't throw the toy at the cat; you should aim for the spot just in front of its claw.
   • Wave a piece of rope in front of the cat. While shaking, slowly move the rope back and forth, approaching and backing away in front of the cat. You can even sweep the string across the cat's claw.
   • Use a laser pointer to project a spot on a wall or floor. When the cat notices this red spot, move the tip of the pen. Your cat will probably chase the red dot from the tip of the stylus.
   • Use "cat bait". The toy is a long, flexible stick with a feather or string attached to the end of the stick. Some toys even have bells attached. Grab one end of the stick and wave the end of the ornament near the cat's claw. Lightly swing the tip of the stick - your cat may try to jump up to grab the toy.

7. 

   Be more concerned with cats. If you've been neglecting the cat lately, you may find it is less flustered than before. This could potentially mean that your cat is upset and lonely. You can apologize to your cat by spending time on it. This can be as simple as sitting reading a book or listening to music by the cat's side, or petting the cat long and tenderly. This may also mean spending some time playing with the cat.

8. 

   Praise and reward your cat. If you make fun of the cat or laugh at it, your cat may feel hurt. Treat her with delicious treats and compliment her on how beautiful and wonderful she is. Speak in a soft, gentle voice. The cat doesn't have to understand what you are saying, but it knows you are talking to it in soothing words.

9. 

   Give your cat what it wants appropriately. Cats can be irritable if they don't get what they want. These things are sometimes quite simple and harmless - like sitting on a soft, soft pillow. There are other times when what they want is not good, like a portion of your food. Certain human foods can be very harmful to your cat's health. If your cat asks for something harmless, you can accommodate it. If what your cat wants could be dangerous, give it something else instead.
   • If your cat wants to sit on the soft pillow on the sofa, let it sit. You can even pick up the cat and put it in that position. Cuddle the cat a bit to calm it down.
   • If your cat asks to drink milk or eat tuna, offer something else. Milk or cream can make a cat uncomfortable in the stomach, while tuna can be dangerous when a cat eats large amounts because it contains high levels of mercury. Look for a cat-specific treat.

Part 2 of 3: Comforting cats

1. 

   Reward the cat with its favorite treat. If your cat is in a better mood, you can reward her directly. Place a few or three of the cat's food in the palm of your hand and sit down next to the cat. If the cat is willing to forgive you, it will come over and eat the food in your hand. You can now pet the cat behind the ear (or any other place the cat likes). If the cat does not come to you, place the treat on the floor and step away. Don't take the reward away - this will only disappoint the cat.
   • Cat treats come in a variety of textures: soft and chewy, hard and crunchy, in addition to being crispy in soft, dried meats (like beef jerky) and dried dishes. You can find dried tuna pellets on cat food stalls at the pet store.
   • Cat favorites also come in a variety of flavors, including chicken, turkey, tuna, and salmon. You can also find something flavored with cat grass.
   • Consider buying foods that are beneficial to your cat. You can look for foods that can help prevent buns from clogging your cat's digestive tract. This way, not only will you make the cat happy, but also make it healthy.

2. 

   Leaving a delicacy that surprised cats. Remember to put it in a place where the cat can find it. Here are a few suggestions:
   • If the cat is hiding under the bed, try leaving the treat under it. Don't put it too far under the bed, as the cat will have to get out of the “safe” position if it wants to grab food, and this will scare him away. Also, don't put your hand too deep under the bed or you won't get scratched by the cat.
   • If your cat seems to be agitated, place a treat near the food or favorite place. If you make your cat angry by taking its place, you can place a treat for your cat right there. This will let the cat know that you are at fault and that she can sit in her favorite spot without being chased.

3. 

   Add treats to your cat's normal food. Place a few of your cat's favorite foods over your regular food during mealtimes. If your kitty has a cheeky temper and does not like mixing it together, place it in a separate plate next to the food bowl.

4. 

   Treat your cat with special treats. Does your cat like any flavors? If you are feeding your cat other flavored foods, choose the flavor they like and feed them at mealtime.

5. 

   Give the cat some hay. If your cat is too agitated, you can soothe it by sprinkling some cat grass on the floor. If you don't want to have to remove any clutter from your cat (some cats eat hay, but others just play around), you can give your cat a pet cat toy.

6. 

   Play with your cat with toys. If your cat likes toys, you can buy new toys for it. You just need to approach the cat, kneel down, and show the cat a toy. You can put a toy on the ground and back out or you can throw it in. This depends on how much the cat likes to play with the item. Remember that not all cats like to play, especially older cats.
   • You can also make a toy with cat grass by cutting a small piece of fabric into a square and placing a teaspoon of dried cat grass in the middle. Pull up the four corners of the fabric, grab the cat grass in the middle, and tie it tightly.
   • You can also make another toy by stuffing a sock with a little cloth, adding a teaspoon of hay and using a string.

Part 3 of 3: Reading cat body language

1. 

   Pay attention to your cat's body language. This will help you guess what its mood is. If your cat is very angry or irritable, perhaps your apology will mean nothing to it, and you may even be slapped in the face by it. This section will teach you how to read your cat's sign language to see when you can safely access them.

2. 

   Observe the cat's tail. The tail is the most expressive part of the cat's body and is a sign of her mood. Unlike dogs, cats do not wag their tails when happy. Here are a few guidelines:
   • If the tail is raised, the tip of the tail is slightly arched to one side, that means your cat is happy and you can safely approach it.
   • If the cat's tail is puffed, the cat is scared. You can approach the cat to calm it down, but take it easy, and leave room for the cat to run and hide. When cornered in a corner, your cat can become aggressive.
   • If the cat curls up or hits its tail, don't go near it. The cat is angry, probably targeting you. Let the cat be quiet for a while before apologizing.

3. 

   Observe the cat's ears. The cat's ears are also very expressive, and help you know how your cat feels. In general, if the cat's ears are up, then the cat is happy, and if it's hanging down, it's unhappy. Here are some detailed instructions:
   • Are cat ears raised in a normal and comfortable position? If that's the case, you can go ahead and try to make up with it.
   • If the cat's ears are pulled back, do not approach the cat. It is very angry and angry. Give the cat a little time.
   • If the cat's ears are pressed against her head and are facing back, she is probably scared. You can still get close to the cat, but be slow and careful.

4. 

   Pay attention to the cat's eyes. The cat's eyes react very quickly to changing light, but also change depending on the cat's mood. When looking into the cat's eyes, you also need to take into account the cat's light and other body language. Here are some guidelines:
   • If the pupil in a cat's eyes widens, she may be frightened, but it might just be the darkness in the room.
   • If the pupil in the cat's eyes narrows, the cat may be angry and agitated, but it could also be that the light in the room is too strong.

5. 

   Look at the cat's face. Is the cat's whiskers sticking out, teeth sticking out, and nose wrinkled? If so, your cat is still angry and does not seem suitable for you to come closer to comfort it. Please wait a while and then try again.

6. 

   Observe the cat's body and fur. Are cat fur ruffled? If so, your cat may be frightened or agitated. If the cat's fur is close to the cat's body? That means cats are more relaxed. However, look at the cat's body for other signs of her mood.

7. 

   Pay attention to your cat's claws. If you notice a cat spreading its claws, be very careful. Your cat will respond very quickly, and it may be preparing to attack you. advertisement
