Pumbaa knows Simba well enough to Clarify about the issue instead of doing immediate revenge. Pumbaa would mainly hope the explanation made some sense. If the problem was common Pumbaa would likely forgive Simba, it's if the reason sounded self-centered he'd be annoyed. If the reason was common Pumbaa surely wouldn't blame Simba completely he'd mostly feel miserable, but he'd let the friendship continue.

These Make Sense If You Think Of The Real Wilderness

A serious distraction

A natural disaster that wasn't expected

A sickness

Starvation out of control

Simba misunderstanding the mother hog's arrival

Hurt by accident against something like a rock or a tree trunk

Simba's pride not knowing Pumbaa brought his mate to visit

Outlanders stronger than Pumbaa thought

His mate not taken from the savanna soon enough to not be prey

Simba sadly coming too late to rescue Pumbaa's mate

Pumbaa's mate sadly dying during her children's birth

Simba unaware of an Outlander's harmful plan against Pumbaa's mate

Pumbaa's mate not knowing where she was going, then sadly hurt

Simba against an Outlander but Pumbaa's mate too weak to move
