How do cats show forgiveness?
Cats don't hold grudges and will quickly forgive and forget one-off incidents. They want to forgive human transgressions as an act of self-preservation, as much as anything else. Make this easier for your cat by providing a welcoming, comforting environment.
It is an instinctive behavior, to avoid conflict with other cats and dangerous situations in the wild. Once you are calmer, your cat may re-appear, with a display of affection. Whilst this might look like an apology, it's more likely your feline friend senses that you are upset.
