For a long time, it was believed that cats were incapable of experiencing human emotions.

However, scientific research proves the opposite.

Cats can experience joy, fear, affection, and resentment.

To understand the emotional state of your pet, it is important to carefully observe its behavior.

The Main Causes of Resentment in Cats

Lack of resources

Food and water are the guarantee of safety and comfort for your pet.

Regularly forgetting to fill your cat's food bowls can seriously damage her trust in you.

Violation of personal space

Cats value their personal space, especially when sleeping.

Constant attempts to pet or wake up a sleeping cat can lead to the cat starting to avoid the owner's company.

Physical punishment

Cats do not understand physical punishment and perceive it as aggression from humans.

Punishment not only will not correct the fluffy one’s behavior, but it will also destroy his trust.
