these pixels are probably dead, sorry. Anecdotally on other types of LCDs people were able to revive or at least change the color of "dead" pixel by carefully “massaging" the are affected, but that represents a minuscule probabilit.
If you have, a case for AppleCare+.

thank you bro.
latest update for u~~~
I have found a repair shop, he says he can replace the surface protection layer alone, without replacing the whole screen, which will only cost $30, i'd like to give it a try recentely !!!
Any way ! thank you for your answer which Helped me a lot spiritually

looks like my cat did't hurt the inside, but only the outside

I wish you the best, but I have strong doubts about the suggested procedure. Please reconsider.

If anything, and if it’s really just on the surface (outside), putting it under a binocular to inspect and then while having it at something like 20x magnified using a Dumont Nr.5 to probe, and finally applying some coating liquid MIGHT completely fix it - but before doing so I would get some old laptop from my stash and check the procedure.

There isn't any "surface protection layer" on MacBook Pros made after 2012.

The display just has a thin sprayed-on anti-glare coating.
You DO NOT WANT ANYBODY fooling with this coating.
It's fragile to start with, and any tampering with it will start "wearing it off"
(This is where the term "StainGate" came from)

Best advice:
Next time, keep the cat away from the screen...

i have fixed this issue in that repair shop, i saw him replace the layer i mentioned which actually called "deflection film" after the repairment my macbook is now like brand new bro,
btw my model is macbook pro 2021 16inch apple sillicon, i have those old mac which really have glass on the top of the screen(mid 2012 13inch), idon't know what apple use in 2013-2019's macbook screen,but this model only have "deflection film" on the top of the screen

turns out my cat only hurt my mac's deflection film, after the replacement it's brand new!!
