Voice talent Inka Magnaye made a post for fellow cat owners as she had a not-so-purr-fect moment with her cat, Uni.

“When pets/animals hurt you, it’s usually your fault. This is because animals can never be malicious, they only act on instinct,” the voice talent warned in her post.

Inka shared that her cat, who had zoomies at the time, bit and scratched her face.

“My baby Uni had the zoomies this morning and got even more hyper when I ran around with him. Filled with cuteness aggression (gigil), I picked him up and buried my face in his body. He freaked out, bit my hair, and scratched up my face 😆,” Inka shared.

As per the Four Paws website, "zoomies" are a "sudden burst of hyperactivity that includes frenzied running, pouncing, bopping, and even excessive meowing — seemingly out of nowhere."

The voice talent went on: “This was when I came back to my senses and paid more attention to his body language. Uni knew he hurt me and it stressed him out. He didn’t want to be touched and was begging for me to open the door and leave my room. So I opened the door and let him do what he needed to do to calm down.”

“When he was better, I came over to apologize and we made up ❤️,” Inka added.

She also clarified that it was her fault and not her pet because she misunderstood her pet’s behavior.

“Doesn’t mean he’s a bad cat. It means I read his body language and energy levels wrong.”

She added, “So it makes me feel bad when pets are kicked out or winawala because of instances like this, when it really wasn’t the animal’s fault but the fault of the human.”

Inka also updated in a separate post that she already got her anti-rabies booster and tetanus toxoid vaccine.

“Update: I got my rabies booster and my tetanus shot 😆 Hayyy as a pet lover,” she penned.

She added: “Did you know? Pwedeng mag pa-bakuna for anti rabies kahit hindi pa nakagat! In fact, better pa yun para protected ka na ❤️”

Some followers, who also had the same experience, praised the voice talent’s action towards her cat incident.

“Good reminder on learning your pets body language. It’s not a simple thing to learn and understand. Not only should you know gestures, but also context of the situation, type of animal/breeds, personality of the pet etc etc. Even happy/excited/positive emotions or good behaviors are overlooked. Do your research and draw from reliable sources,” a follower commented.

Another netizen shared, “Pets have their personal space and boundaries, too, and we gotta respect that 🤗.”

“I love how you explained our pets reaction to our own actions to them. They are not bad pets. and they know when they hurt us. You'd see it in their eyes that they didn't mean it,” a fan expressed.
