correct me if I'm wrong. You seemed to be trying to say something to get in your wife's good graces...like saying you liked the cat.
now I don't know if you hated the cat or secretly loved the cat. But your response didn't seem genuine to her. The "I'm sorry" part was genuine. The rest sounded odd as I read it. Of course, I'm odd.
But you have to rebuild with who you are (the new you) - maybe in this case a guy who didn't like the cat.
Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet. --Jean Jacques Rousseau.
