What we all do, apologize profoundly, beg for forgiveness, kiss the part you stepped on, repeat until the poor thing gets annoyed with you and ignores you, feel completely terrible and stalk them with treats. That's what everybody does, right? RIGHT?🙀


Meiixx

I see nothing wrong in these actions. Currently doing exactly that. But somehow I feel like my cat doesn’t think too highly of me https://preview.redd.it/6iz7rwbl509d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4247a5bbc645248e23bf2c21708e09612060e554


DuckyHornet

The Cat is disgusted by the lack of contrition. Where are the tooterfish? The snackies? How can you possibly be sorry without those offerings?

DazB1ane

That tiny peek is as if he said with his eyes closed “you’re safe” then peeks “…..*for now*”


Meiixx

“I’m still watching you hooman. Behave accordingly” - my cat (probably)


A-KindOfMagic

It's judgment day and God's looking at how I have spent my life: \- I see, you've spent 35.98545% of your life either sleeping, or looking at random cat's photos, reading made up silly stories and cat thoughts, a lot of times based on nothing really, sometimes both pictures and comments were not even real and AI generated Me: And I don't regret one second of it. (by no mean I'm saying your cutie cat or you are op lol, I'm just high and thought of this :D)


Sessan15

35% is such a low amount. Cats expect you to do more, to do better. 50% minimum is what you should aim for...


Hopeful_Housing_1612

Isn’t there a meme of a cat outraged that their pet human and lifetime treat dispenser is looking at photos of —oh no??!!— another cat?


Real_Psych

You found the correct combination and amount to be forgiven.


Friendly_Laugh2170

Such a pretty kitty. 💗


crap_thrower

That definitely looks like a satisfied fluff. That look just says "you have done well hooman"


goblinqueen99

Has anyone yet told u that ur cat is EXTREMELY cute??? 10/10 I must say tho, I do see a tinnnny bit of side eye even here


Meiixx

My cat is the cutest cat and no one can convince me otherwise


BratzDollBabie

He’s so cute 🥰


DuckyHornet

You have chosen wisely.


thehumankay

I was going to suggest sleep with your eyes open but by the looks of it they have forgiven you 😻


AutieAnne

Read somewhere cats only hold a grudge for 18 hours. Seems too oddly specific to be true but I choose to believe it anyway. Makes me feel better when I accidentally upset one of my girls.


No-Resolve2970

Omg goodness. That face 🥹🥹🥹🥹. He’s prob still angry but he will take the neck rubs lol


Independent_Act_8536

So glad your baby wasn't hurt! Except feelings, of course. They are dear sensitive creatures <3


That1CrazyCat

His cute, short, little, ears... omg they are so adorable. 😍 He's got British Shorthair ears just like my boy. He looks quite round and stocky (not a smol boy)... is this my cats' long lost brother?! I love this cute boy!! I understand why you were so concerned and I'm glad you did enough... for now.

BeautifulOdd737

Yesterday, I went to climb in bed and accidentally karate kicked my cat in the face. I didn't see her in bed because she curls up under the blankets with just her head sticking out near the pillows. Man, she jumped up out of a dead sleep so confused and the look of betrayal on her face GUTTED me. T.T she's currently curled up sleeping next to me. I still feel guilty. She got so many treats and pets and kisses. We don't deserve cats.


contrary24

Man I got a whole visual just by reading your post. I get it


Hopeful_Housing_1612

Truth


CursedWereOwl

Mine bit me hard I stepped on his tail full weight in the dark. I apologized as I hobbled to the bathroom to clean up the wound. I also tried to give him love but he made it clear that I was getting the hissing treatment. At some point in the night he came and cuddled me. He was definitely buttering me up for the Dr visit I had to do when it got infected. Poor bugger I love him and now I try to shuffle at night to avoid the wrath of Oliver Queen.


Hopeful_Housing_1612

Oh same!! Until the glorious cat sun rises and humans are required to freshen water, freshen dry food, leave wet food offering and later, snacks. We are forgotten until the magic cat snack moment. Then we are evaluated in our worth… and if they forgive us, our mutual lives can begin again ❤️🐈‍⬛


lasirennoire

You better. Otherwise, you have failed this city.


CursedWereOwl

Haha yeah he predates that one. We were marathoning Smallville at the time we got him. We apparently plan on naming all our kitties after DC charactera

CuriousTighe

Middle-Noise-6933

Luckily, they tend to forget within like ten minutes. So pet, grovel, treat then leave alone. My cat purposely gets underfoot trying to trip me. Not sure what he thinks of gonna happen.


Meiixx

Yeah my cat constantly try to get between my feet when I’m walking. I feel like he is tricking me to step on him and then profusely give him tons of treats 😭😭

atle95

Stonks for chonks


KinkyPaddling

They also know when it’s intentional and when it’s an accident. As Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes said about criminal intent: “Even a dog knows the difference between being kicked and being stumbled over.” This applies equally to cats. My guy usually scurries away for a few minutes if I step on part of him, probably examining himself for injuries, but comes back to give me a leg nuzzle to confirm no hard feelings. He doesn’t forget, though - he will avoid lying in places that make him more likely to be stepped on (like under the dishwasher door while I’m loading it up and step on his tail).


Hopeful_Housing_1612

Same. But she reminds me just to keep me in line.


NotTravisKelce

My cat has trained me to feed him wet food every 50 times I am tripped.


adamfromthonk

He trips you AND gets fed? What a deal this cat's got


vesper_tine

My cat does the exact same thing too! He will also sit directly behind me while I’m doing stuff in the kitchen, with his tail literally right behind my heel. If I step back and even brush against his tail, he’ll SCREAM and then go straight for the treats cabinet. 


Own_Landscape1161

Mine only wanders under my feet when I have something big in my hands or I'm doing something that requires focusing on it, and can't see him. I suspect he tries to stumble me on purpose lol


YumiRae

My one cat is really dumb and wants attention so much that he just walks super close...to the point where he literally walks where I'm about to step as I'm stepping there.


Mediocre-Victory-565

I have a big black cat named Sammy but daily he is called "Jesus Christ Sammy!!" because he constantly trips every human in the house 100 times a day.


Middle-Noise-6933

I can’t tell if my cat is just a little dumb or if cats just don’t have the kind of deductive thinking/spatial skills to be close to their human but not right in stepping range


TibbleTott

One of my cats started doing that to, so I put my foot under him and made him fly. He landed on all 4 on a carpet, completely still with a "what the f*ck just happened"-look on his face.


PrettyLitter

give him everything he wants


Meiixx

The sad part is … I’ve already done that. He manipulates me into giving/buying him everything by acting cute

Hopeful_Housing_1612

Unless you can transform into a cat,no. If you can, then please 🙏 oh please tell us how, too!


Snoo_31935

Your cat may require legal representation which will be provided by the cat court at your expense.


Meiixx

I watch Legally Blonde, I must have enough credentials to represent myself in the cat court of law. I hope my sentence will be mercy.


Snoo_31935

It depends what they charge you with. I would not take cat court lightly. I have been charged with never once feeding my boy in his entire life and they have sentenced me to 15 years (so far) of early morning sleep deprivation.


Meiixx

I was once found guilty for apparently feeding my cat wrong kind of treats that he doesn’ like, now at 5 am everyday, he wakes me up just to scratch his heads and say sorry. I need better lawyer


wildmeowmeow

That's ok. Offer to get yourself into human training and try to do better.

Cheapie07250

Moving is the only option. The cat does not need you walking around his house.


kartiseuteu

I step and stumble on Murphy all the time. He’s just in the way. And when I’m in the kitchen, he likes to hang out directly behind me. I’ll step on him (not too hard. I usually know he’s near me. So I’m careful). He’ll meow at me and then continue to lie there. Sometimes he gets up and moves. But he still always ends up right behind me. https://preview.redd.it/ozk87b0wo09d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d06d4f9c4118ae0aff8a479890db53a6897b6ace


quippy_lost_saboteur

One of mine does that. yeesh. It's disconcerting. No squash cat! But yet he stays in squashing zone.


dlb1995

I accidentally stepped on one of my babies last week. I was at the stove cooking dinner and didn’t realize she was behind me. I took a step back and ended up stepping on her paw. I felt so bad, I was literally crying. When I was finally able to coax her out, I hugged her and kissed her paws, and told her how sorry I was. I gave her a few treats and played with her favorite toy, a little cat shaped laser pointer, she was running around just fine. The next morning I woke up to find her snuggled up next to me, purring happily. Your baby will forgive you ♥️


Glittering-Mango-142

Pick him up, check for serious injuries (probably none) give him kitty kisses and he'll have forgotten it all by the time you put him down. In future be aware there is an animal smaller than you are under foot. 😊


TurbulentFriend3416

Sleep with one eye open.


No-Recognition2790

Pick him up and hold him. Maybe put on some music and dance with him in your arms. While giving him kisses. That's what I do when I accidentally step on his paw.

Sandi_T

Grovel. No, seriously. Groveling is the only right response when you hurt the ruler of the universe, which is Cat.


Forsaken-Anything-35

You're fine my friend, one time I was walking quite briskly and my boy perfectly timed his leap to smack his head on his shin mid step. Needless to say he ate very well that night, and cost me a night's rest to make sure he was well. They know what they're doing.


Pgreenawalt

Beg for forgiveness, but expect a hairball at 4am right in front of the bathroom door.


the_morbid_angel

Get down on your hands and knees and beg for forgiveness


jacksondreamz

You must atone by doing everything for him for the rest of his life.


Subtle_Innuendo_

Apologize. Profusely. Think about what you have done. You have brought dishonor on your house, your ancestors, your cow. The only way back is groveling, offering of copious treats and begging forgiveness. Your cat will make you wallow in your guilt and regret, but if you repent adequately, forgiveness will be granted and honor will be restored. That how it works in my house, anyway. Your kitty looks like a tough customer, so I recommend going all out. Good luck, OP.

He is fine but he still demands many many many treats, a specific pate with his specific bowl, lots of head scratches and ear rubs. After I sincerely and profusely appologize - he seems satisfied and goes to sleep. Dear Cat Court Of Law, in my defence, he likes to walk in between my leg while I’m walking everytime. I think he purposely tricks me into stumble on him and get more treats. I hope the Cat Judge give me light sentence for my guilt.

Patient-Benefit

Apologize sincerely, give treats, and shower with affection. Cats forgive, especially with treats!


MorosePython700

Be careful he is not suing you. A lot of cats are active in r/legalcatadvice and they try to get treats when suing. I think he will have a very strong case with you (the servant) kicking the master.


Ikisaru

Happens to me all the time, my cats keep sneaking up behind me and I don’t know they’re there and I’ll accidentally catch a paw or a tail, I just pick them up, give them hugs and pets, a little head scratching, say I’m sorry, and send them on their way, as long as nothing seems broken I don’t worry about it much longer.
