A small accident turned into a big wave of guilt when a 12-year-old Redditor dropped his phone on his cat during a cuddle session. He did not mean to hurt the skittish feline, but the moment stuck with him enough that he went online to vent about it.

The story is simple, but the reaction around it is what makes it memorable, because cat lovers quickly jumped in to reassure him that one clumsy mistake would not ruin his bond with his pet. The post also sparked plenty of wholesome responses from people who understood exactly why he felt so bad.

That guilt is probably familiar to a lot of pet owners.

Kids, especially, can take an accident very hard.

It also makes sense that the boy would worry about how his cat saw the whole thing.

Pet owners tend to read a lot into these moments.

As you may have noticed, the boy kept his cat's identity hidden.

How cute!

Reddit did what Reddit does best, and the replies leaned comforting right away.

Most people seemed more focused on reassuring the boy than on the accident itself.

This is similar to the angry cat mom who yelled at her sleepy boyfriend over a cut.

That part of the story felt pretty relatable to readers.

The skittish cat just needs some time and space.

The boy's cat probably just needs a little patience.

The cat will probably be fine, and the internet has already moved on to comforting the next worried pet owner.
