You can stroke the cat's chin and back of the neck to help it relax and gradually alleviate its unhappiness.

The Sound of a Cat's Anger

When a cat is angry, it will emit a low growl and may also show behaviors of ignoring its owner and leaving them alone. The owner can use treats and toys that the cat likes to distract it and make it forget its anger. The owner can also speak softly to the cat, expressing their guilt, and the cat will feel the owner's emotions and stop being angry.

How Long Does It Take for a Cat to Get Over Its Anger

The specific recovery time after a cat gets angry depends on its personality. If the cat is relatively active, it may forget the thing that made it angry the next day.
