Previously, the cat was calm and affectionate, but now it often begins to demonstrate aggressive behavior?

The pet owner should never ignore such a phenomenon.

A person needs to figure out what exactly caused the change in the furry animal's behavior. Perhaps the animal needs help.

There are at least three reasons why a kind cat suddenly started using its claws and teeth.

Health problems

A cat can become aggressive due to severe pain. The desire of a fluffy to bite or scratch someone is explained by the desire to hide its weakness by attacking, so as not to become easy prey for a predator.

Therefore, a pet that suddenly becomes aggressive should be shown to a veterinarian.

The cat is afraid of something

A common cause of sudden aggression is animal stress.

Perhaps the pet was very frightened by something. In such a situation, the cat will try to run away.

If this cannot be done, then the furry four-legged friend will have only one way out - to try to scare the “enemy”.

The cat got angry because of the failure

Cats are natural hunters. But in domestic conditions, animals rarely manage to catch prey.

Often the window becomes an obstacle: it does not give the pet the opportunity to grab the bird located on the other side of the glass.

The cat needs to redirect the accumulated but unspent energy somewhere. As a result, aggression appears.
