Only at first glance do cats seem independent and self-sufficient.
In reality, things are not quite like that. Even the most reserved and independent pets need attention and care.
Under certain conditions, cats can become disillusioned and fall out of love with their owner.

Cruel punishment
One of the reasons why a pet may begin to avoid communication with a person.
If punishments are regular, then this is a direct path to the complete destruction of the relationship with the animal.
Unhealthy environment in the home
Cats are very sensitive creatures.
A pet will never feel comfortable in a house where people constantly quarrel, argue, insult each other, and so on.
Animals will stay away from such people, say zoopsychologists.
Another pet
A cat is unlikely to be happy if a competitor appears on its territory.
The animal may become jealous and start to do all sorts of mischief.
New family member
If the owner has a child or a love partner, this can also become a cause of antipathy.
Over time, the cat may get over it, or it may start to behave unpredictably.
