14 Things a Cat Will Never Forgive

Cats are known for their remarkable memory when it comes to remembering bad experiences.
These negative encounters can have a lasting impact on their trust and connection with you. They might start avoiding you, hiding, or even being aggressive, trying to protect themselves from perceived threats.
In this video, we will talk about 14 things that cats are unlikely to forgive.

Raised voices
Cats have extraordinarily sensitive ears. They're capable of hearing sounds that we humans can't even detect. This sensitivity to sound helps them in the wild, making them excellent hunters. But in our homes, this sensitivity can make loud noises very startling and uncomfortable for them.
Raised voices can be particularly terrifying for your cat. They can perceive the person making these noises as a threat, and will begin to avoid them.
Laughing at them
Pulling on your cat’s tail, blowing in their face, scaring them during a deep sleep, and cornering and picking them up against their will —such behaviors confuse and agitate your cat. Remember, what’s amusing to you is not always fun for your cat. Scaring your kitty with cucumbers or other objects for entertainment value isn't fun for them. One of the basic needs a cat has is to feel safe and secure in your home.
Declawing them
Declawing isn't just trimming a cat's nails. It's a surgical procedure that removes the last bone in each of their toes. Think of it as cutting off a human's finger at the last knuckle. Some people consider declawing as a solution to scratching behavior, but it leads to a host of physical and psychological problems for the cat. It causes pain and mobility issues.
Forcing New Friendships
Most cats are reserved around strangers. They’re not especially trusting, and they want to take introductions at their own speed.
When you force your cat to interact with new people, you’re essentially disrespecting their feelings.
It’s always best to let your cat make new friends on their own. Don’t force them to interact, and tell others to respect their space and their feelings.
Rough Play
While some cats enjoy interactive play with toys, rough play can quickly become too much for them. Cats have sensitive bodies, and what might seem like fun to you could actually be causing them discomfort or even pain. This can lead to your cat becoming fearful or aggressive. Pay attention to your cat’s body language during play. Signs that they are getting overstimulated include flattened ears, hunching over, and a twitching tail. Stick to gentle play with appropriate toys, and always let your cat initiate and control the intensity of play sessions.
Ignoring their fears
Cats have a good reason for jumping and hiding whenever they hear a loud or startling sound.
Common sounds such as the vacuum cleaner, videogames, fireworks, balloons, or loud TV cause stress and anxiety in cats. Flattened ears, lowered tail, arched back, and looking for a place to hide, are all signs that your cat is not comfortable in a particular situation. Keep in mind that it is part of a cats’ survival instinct to be afraid of loud noises. Make sure you are providing your cat with a calm, relaxed environment that helps them feel safe and secure in your home.
Not respecting their territory
Cats are very territorial creatures, and this goes beyond simply having a preferred spot on the couch.
Cats use scent glands located on their cheeks and paws to mark their territory with their unique scent. Each room and each piece of furniture is marked with their scent as a way to establish their territory. Changing or removing these scent markers can stress cats out. For example, if you move their bed or litterbox, or if you redecorate or add new furniture, it can make your cats anxious because you're changing the territory they know so well.
Studies have shown that cats who regularly have access to their established territories tend to feel more self-assured and relaxed.
Interrupting their sleep
Cats are notorious for their love of sleep, often dozing for up to 16 hours a day!
But frequently disturbing their sleep leads to more than just a bad mood. it triggers stress, which is a serious concern for felines. Similar to humans, cats go through both REM and non-REM sleep cycles. During REM sleep, they can even dream. So, those subtle movements and twitching you notice while they're asleep? It could be your cat dreaming of chasing prey or recalling an interaction with another pet.
Remember, cats are crepuscular creatures, meaning they're most active during dawn and dusk. Therefore, when they're dozing during the day, they're simply following their natural instincts. Ensure they have a quiet, comfy spot where they can peacefully snooze without any disruptions.

Declawing should B considered as animal abuse

[TheEuropeanFox]

I am guessing declawing and trimming their claws are two different matters because you mentioned not letting their nails grow

[peterjohn]

It amazes me how my cat can appear to be in deep sleep one second and then get slightly disturbed and then goes from 0-100. Wish I could wake up like that.

I have a cat that seems embarrassed by a human seeing her playing. Even though it makes my heart swell with pride to know she feels that comfortable it breaks it when she stops and goes to find a place to hide. I found her in a RV park and she was pregnant and I have taken her in and of course the kittens the day they were born. I don't know what her life was before and I have my suspicion she used to be a indoor cat because she took to indoor living really fast. I'm trying very hard to be patient because I know it may have been something in her past that stops her but it breaks my heart to see any animal not be themselves because of stupid people

I never shout at my kittie.
I do however make sarcastic comments while watching something that annoys me on Youtube.
That's when Maia comes to check up on me to see what has made me spout out something sarcastic.
She knows her dad. She knows about my gallow's humor.

I had a cat who absolutely hated my brother. He tormented her when she was a kitten. She hated him and his friends. I once thought of finding another home for her so she could hsve a better life.

[AnimalFacts.MoyaTv]

[bohemianwriter]

I'm dreaming of being able to take my kittie with me eveywhere.
Also to work when my health allows it.
Since my work allows me to do so.

Dogs forgive anything. Cats doesn’t forgive anything.

Smoky got afraid of doing a thunderstorm he ran in head any last night. He panicked and panicked until he ran out the door, but my papa got him.

[Eclipsethexplorerdragon]

If I can’t cut their nails, then I don’t have to take care of their nails.

[bczarnowski]

I had to spray my sweet pea with flea treatment and I barely got any on her and she’s sooo upset with me what can I do to make her forgive me? I feel terrible but she brought fleas in!

[aetherion]

ALL of these are incorrect of course besides declawing a cat.

Even if the rest of course are wrong as well, that can either happen by accident or not, the cat would just ran away temporary. No such thing "as never forgive" for all this occurrences. Incorrect information.

[Reino-wtbq]

Seem like all cat will be less stress if its doesn't have the person who give them food and shelter.

[Lydia]

I have to call my cat’s name because she’s gonna have to get spayed and she’s gonna have to be at the vet on time

[marthacrust]
