Hitting a cat frequently can make it depressed and timid. The cat will become increasingly afraid of its owner, and when the owner is home, the cat will only hide in a corner and refuse to come out. It will only dare to come out to forage for food after the owner leaves.

If a cat is frequently hit, it will become insecure and even timid. It will hide at the slightest sound, and sometimes it will even tremble when it sees you raise your hand.
