Why does a cat hiss at its owner and how to wean a cat off this habit
The cat cannot speak, but it uses body language to show its displeasure.
Sometimes a pet hisses at its owner for an unknown reason.
Let's take a closer look at why an animal may show aggression towards its owner.
Hissing is usually accompanied by the display of all teeth, dilated pupils, ears pressed to the head and raised fur.
Most often, this reaction means that the cat is defending itself from a threat or showing “character” by expressing a threat.
Therefore, after hissing, the cat may run away, take a defensive position, or immediately attack with several blows of its paw.
It is important to recognize the threat, which will help you understand what your cat is afraid of or doesn't like. Most often, the root cause of hissing is fear.
To wean your pet off aggression, you need to accustom it to being handled immediately after birth.
It is recommended to spend time with it as often as possible so that the animal gets used to human company. It is also important to socialize the cat by showing it to friends or relatives.
