At first glance, a cat's hissing is a fairly obvious signal.
Apparently, the cat sees someone as a source of danger.
It turns out that if a furry creature hisses at a person, then the latter is threatening the pet or is already performing some “unfriendly” action.
Perhaps the cat is simply afraid of a stranger. But it is not always that simple.
Let's imagine a situation: a fluffy pet has long been accustomed to its owner. The owner does only good things for the pet: feeds, pets, buys toys, etc.
And suddenly the cat starts hissing at the person.
It would seem that there was no reason for such a reaction. But there is a possible unexpected explanation.
It is possible that we are talking about "projecting fear". Perhaps the pet was previously afraid of something or got into a stressful situation. And it is forced to "transfer" the fear to someone who will definitely not do anything bad to it. Often, we are talking about the owner.
In such a situation, eliminate the source of danger, if, of course, you can find it.
Often, a cat's unexpected hissing at its owner is explained by the pet's illness.
Perhaps the pet is not feeling well and seems to want to tell the person: “Don’t touch me, I’m not feeling well.”
Of course, in this case it is worth contacting a veterinarian.
