Will hitting a cat make it hate its owner

This is an old question and one of the fundamental questions about animal behavior. Many people believe that if you hit a cat, it will hold a grudge against you. However, what is the truth?
Firstly, we must be clear: cats have memory. They can remember the people and things that caused harm or danger to them. This kind of memory may be crucial for their survival, as they need to remember which places are safe and which places are dangerous.
However, there are some differences regarding whether cats will remember you hitting them. On the one hand, some cats do develop suspicion and fear towards humans after being abused, and may exhibit aggression towards specific individuals. This behavior may be related to hatred, or it may simply be because they have lost trust in humanity.
On the other hand, there are also many cats that remain friendly and close to humans even after experiencing bad experiences. These cats may become very defensive, but usually do not exhibit hate behavior.
Overall, cats have very complex memories and behaviors, making it difficult to answer this question simply. Every cat has its own personality and behavior, and they will react differently to different experiences.
However, as people who love animals, we should do our best to prevent cats from being abused and harmed. Because regardless of whether they hold grudges or not, these behaviors are immoral and should not be tolerated. At the same time, we should also try our best to understand and respect these mysterious animals, and establish long-term friendships with them.

Cats occasionally make mischievous mistakes, and some pet owners often use violence to beat cats and punish them. But do you know what the ending will be for a cat that is often beaten? Let’s take a look together.
Netizen 1: My neighbor has a cat, which is a white kitten. This neighbor is quite irritable. I often hear him beating and scolding cats, as well as the screams of cats. Cats often get injured here, bleed there, and often limp when walking.
Later on, I didn’t hear the screams of the cat for a long time. I thought my neighbor stopped hitting the cat, but later I found out that there was a time when the cat, after being hit by a neighbor, didn’t handle its injuries in a timely manner and eventually passed away.

Netizen 2: Once on my way to work, I saw a cat covered in injuries. It was obvious that it had just run out of home because its body was relatively clean, unlike a stray cat. Other passersby said that this was a cat kept by people nearby, and it may have escaped on its own because it was often beaten.

What will happen to cats that are often beaten?

Cats often get injured

Cats are very small and fragile, and they cannot withstand a punch or kick from their owners. If you frequently use violence to hit cats, they are easily injured. If you don’t control the force properly, cats may even die as a result. Can you accept this consequence?

Cats will stay away from you

I believe no one likes to be with someone who often hits them, but cats are the same. If you often beat and scold your cat, and the cat doesn’t feel love in you, even full of malice, then the cat will slowly move away from you, and your relationship will become increasingly distant. I believe you don’t want to see such an outcome.

Cats become irritable in personality

A cat that is frequently beaten can easily become irritable because what it sees and hears is violence, and it is also often subjected to violence. Therefore, it has learned to use violence to control violence, so when you hit it, it will also attack you.
And cats also become very vigilant, unwilling to get close to humans, and even if someone approaches them, they will explode their fur. In order to protect themselves, they may even attack others first, becoming particularly violent.

Cats will retaliate against you

Actually, most cats are quite cautious and won’t let themselves be wronged. If you often hit a cat, it will hate you in its heart and find ways to retaliate against you. The most common way is to demolish your house, pee on your bed, and so on. In short, it will make you very embarrassed. I believe you don’t want to see such consequences.

Cats will run away from home

Cats have a deep affection for their owners. They love you very much, but you often beat them up for small things. This way, cats will become more and more disappointed in you. They will not feel love in you or warmth in this home. They will leave this home without hesitation and will never come back.
A domestic cat running away from home and living alone may not adapt, may be bullied by other stray cats, and may even have a car accident. Cats have this kind of outcome, and I believe you don’t want to see it either.

How to educate cats after making mistakes

Although cats are mischievous and mischievous, we do not recommend using verbal abuse to treat them. If a cat makes a mistake, the pet owner can loudly scold it, tell it that doing so is not allowed, and then guide the cat on what to do. Repeat multiple times, I believe the cat will correct it.
If the cat corrects, the pet owner can reward it with some snacks appropriately, so that the cat will listen to you more.
