    Advice needed from people who know cats

    I accidentally trod on the little paw of Romulus, one of the stray cats that has adopted me.

    He was pretty upset, more shock - I was wearing soft soled thongs. He is always getting under my feet. He likes to rub his musk on my toes.

    He yelped, jumped away, stopped a few feet away, gave me a look and ran.

    Ridiculously, I was saying sorry in English, which cats don't speak He may have thought I was scolding him. Stupid of me. It was dark out.

    How do I make friends again? It took me a long time to befriend him

    Offer him a treat next time you see him... then if he lets you give him a few pets. Cats are pretty forgiving from my experiences.

          Fortunately Cats have a short memory. Food and attention works almost every time.

            If it was a dog I wouldn't worry - they tend to blame themselves

              This too shall pass.

                    Rommy came back at dusk, milk time of course...

                    He ran up with his usual excitement, arched his back on my leg and let me pat him. Then he seemed to remember what happened and suddenly hung back. He went and ran whizzing around the garden climbing trees, crouching and pouncing on things in what looked like a display of male bravado, watching me carefully.

                    Then he went up a dwarf coconut tree really fast and sort of got stuck spread eagled up there for a minute or two which made me laugh, typical male showing off.

                    Meanwhile his sister Remmy came up and drank all the milk. He usually muscles her out. So I got him a second bowl.

                    I think we are fine, but it will take a while. His paw seems to be okay.

                    Hey thanks for the advice

                      Cats have like a 10 second short term memory
                      Don't make a habit of it and the cats will forgive/forget. Do it enough times and the cat will associate you and the scenario as pain inducing and will avoid the situation as a rule following enough occurrences.

                      Just say you're sorry and give lots of affection.
                      To us, it is the BEAST.

                            Nope, extreme cuteness.

                            With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                              That is the worst part about cats!
