What to do if your cat hisses at guests: don't even think about petting your pet
If the animal is in good health, it will not show aggression towards its owner.
This is not surprising, because the purring cat probably feels affection for you and treats everyone living with her in the house as her family (pack).
But this will not stop the cat from displaying aggressive behavior when guests appear on your doorstep.
For a cat, your relatives or friends are strangers, and such behavior in such situations is completely natural.
Seeing how a cat has fluffed up its fur, strained its back and hisses towards strangers, many owners rush to calm the animal by petting it or offering it treats.
This is their main mistake, because in this way they only reinforce the unwanted behavior of their pet.
Because of this, the cat will think that this is how he is supposed to greet all guests, and next time, he may be even more angry.
Therefore, the best solution would be to take your pet to another room and leave it there, closing the door behind you.
Once the cat has calmed down and come to its senses, act as if nothing special had happened between you.
