My cat was missing for half a year and was adopted – will he be upset if I visit him? (He seems stressed and mildly depressed)
Cats are timid but are not usually diagnosed with depression. After half a year with a new owner, he likely trusts them and has forgotten you, so he may just hide. As long as you do not force interaction, a major stress reaction is unlikely. Severe stress, however, can weaken immunity and cause anorexia or illness.

What happens if you often hit and scold a dog?
Frequent hitting/scolding harms the dog's health and mind; it may stop trusting people and hide, bark, puff up, or even attack when approached. It often worsens the very behavior you want to fix, and long stress can lower immunity or cause self-harm like over-grooming.
How can I make a guinea pig like me?
Guinea pigs are slow to warm up, so be patient: quiet roomy cage, regular feeding, toys. They are timid, so no sudden moves or shouting. Once settled, hand-feed and gently touch its back/head to build trust.
What happens if you hit a Schnauzer?

How do I train a one-year-old Labrador?
An adult Lab has set habits, so train patiently: build trust through feeding and time together, then basic obedience ('sit,' 'stay,' 'come,' 'heel') with consistent cues and rewards. Train 20-30 minutes daily to avoid boredom.
How do I train a Rottweiler to protect its owner?
Use a scientific, systematic approach: build trust through daily care, teach basic obedience (sit, stay, come, stop), then simulate an attack with a helper; reward guarding behavior and have the helper flee to build confidence.
