What happens to a cat that is beaten for a long time?

A cat that is beaten over a long period becomes deeply wary of humans. When someone approaches, it will hiss at them and show signs like puffed-up fur, an arched back and airplane ears, and may launch an attack at any moment.

Such cats also generally lack a sense of security and dare not easily eat food offered by strangers; even when hungry, they will wait until the person walks away before eating.

Finally, a house cat that is beaten long-term will usually hide in a corner out of fear to avoid further harm, and it may try to run away from home to get far from people.
