Cats typically exhibit the following behaviors after being hit:
1: The cat may droop its ears and lower its head, showing that it knows it has done something wrong and is fearful.
Confused or bewildered: The cat may tilt its head or look confused, indicating that it has not yet realized its mistake.
2: Cats may become very irritable, not allowing their owners to pet them, and may even attack their owners. This is usually because they have not admitted their mistakes or are angry about their owners' behavior.

The above behaviors are possible reactions of a cat after being hit. However, please note that beating a cat is not a suitable way to train it and may cause physical and psychological harm to the cat.
