Boy Who Accidentally Dropped His Phone On His Cat Turns To Reddit To Unload His Guilt

by May

Do cats hold grudges after their humans hurt them? We all make mistakes and do things we later regret, so it's natural to wonder if cats resent their owners if they were accidentally hurt.

The good news is that cats recover quickly from one-time events, so don't worry too much! According to experts, cats remember real accidents for up to 16 hours.

In other words, the relationship with your cat won't be easily broken by that one incident. These felines won't sever their connection with you just because of a minor accident.

But what cats do remember is the abuse and mistreatment they've gone through. Those events will traumatize them for the rest of their lives.

If they find the situation endangering their lives, it will be stored in their long-term memory. Doing so will keep them safe from any harm.

A young Redditor recently shared an incident that involved him and his cat. According to the 12-year-old, he likes scrolling through social media while cuddling the cats.

During one of his chill times with his cat, he accidentally dropped the phone on the skittish feline. He didn't mean to hurt his cat, but he was so guilty about it.

So he unloaded his thoughts on Reddit. Cat lovers responded to the cute and wholesome post, assuring him that his cat will eventually forgive him.

So how do you restore a close relationship with your cat after an accident? Experts say that cat owners shouldn't force affection on their cats.

It's easy to get tempted to do so. After all, we love our pet cats so much.

But being in a hurry to smooth things over might backfire. So don't worsen the problem by forcing them to be held or get petted.

Instead, in subtle ways, motivate your feline to be close to you. At mealtimes, for example, sit several feet away from your cat's food bowl to encourage your cat's approach without aggressively pursuing them.
