Cats don\u2019t really feel hatred, but they can be scared, irritated, stressed, anxious, or even in pain. And these states of mind can make it seem like your cat hates you based on your interpretation of your cat\u2019s actions<\/strong>. Whether your cat avoids you or even attacks you when you get too close, there is likely a reason for it, and if you can identify the probable cause of this action, it might be possible to correct it.<\/p>\n

Signs Your Cat Might Be \u201cUpset\u201d with You<\/h2>\n

Intrinsically, cats don\u2019t feel \u201cupset\u201d with their owners in the way we get upset with other people, either. However, a cat may act somewhat differently if something is bothering them or if they feel threatened, agitated, or unwell. Most owners have a good feeling of their cats\u2019 emotions through body language and the general state of the relationship. If the cat is acting out of character, not letting you pet them on the belly when they normally don\u2019t mind, for example, this uncharacteristic behavior is a good sign something might be up.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean your cat hates you, but it probably does mean that it might be worth identifying what is going on. Other signs to look for include:<\/p>\n
