Do Cow Cats Hold Grudges After Being Hit? Signs of Fear Towards Owners

Cow cats don't necessarily hold grudges after being hit; it largely depends on the severity of the hit and the cat's individual temperament. If a cat becomes fearful of its owner after being hit, it will likely exhibit behaviors such as arching its back with fur standing on end, hiding away, or even displaying aggression toward the owner.

Whether a cat holds a grudge after being hit varies. It depends on the force used by the owner and the cat's usual personality. If the owner hits the cat with excessive force and the cat, usually lively, suddenly becomes withdrawn, it's likely the cat is holding a grudge. A cat that holds a grudge might show indifference to the owner's calls, refuse to eat, or even attempt to sneak away. Physical punishment is not recommended when disciplining cats, to prevent accidentally causing injury.

Signs of a Cat Fearing Its Owner

Cats that are afraid of their owners will generally try to avoid them. When the owner is home, a fearful cat will often hide under the sofa, under the bed, or stay perched in high places. If the owner tries to approach, the cat may display behaviors like an arched back, puffed-up fur, and dilated pupils. If the cat perceives the owner as a threat, it might even scratch or bite, then use the distraction to escape and hide again. Furthermore, cats that don't trust their owners can exhibit signs of anxiety and stress. This can manifest as excessive grooming, or a reluctance to eat.
