No 1. Running Away
If you scold your cat, she may get nervous about your unusual behavior, run away, and hide to protect herself.
Too much scolding can make her scared of you. So be careful.
No 2. Ears Back and Direct Eye Contact
If your cat’s ears are flat against her head and her eyes are on you, she could feel uncomfortable with discipline. In this case, it is likely that she doesn’t know about her misbehavior.
If you don’t read her body language and keep scolding her, she may bite or attack you.
No 3. Being Aggressive
After being scolded, she may get excited, hiss, or hit you. She may feel that you’re offensive. She doesn't get what went wrong.
At this time, if you don’t stop scolding her, it won’t solve the problem and makes her unhappy.
No 4. Scratching or Grooming
Cats scratch or groom to calm down themselves. They can do this to relieve the stress of discipline.
They might get nervous by a loud voice. Check whether you’ve scolded your cat out too loud.
No 5. Avoiding Eye Contact
Direct eye contact for cats means vigilance and attack. If your cat seems to avoid your eye contact, she looks like she is feeling guilty.
In fact, this is not to say that she regrets misbehavior. It may mean that she admits that you are higher in rank than her.
No 6. Showing Affection
Your cat may come to you and touch you or show her belly. It’s not a sign of apology. She doesn’t know her misbehavior.
She may just show affection to refresh herself.
