A pet that is seriously out of control in its aggression can pose a real threat to those around it.
Therefore, every owner should take note of the methods that will help calm a cat that is hissing with rage.
Eliminate the discontent factor
The first thing that needs to be done is to eliminate the irritant that caused such emotions in the cat.
If they are guests, explain to them that they should not touch your pet now. Children should also be asked to leave the animal alone. Even if the aggression was caused by the planned "wedding", it is better to wait and offer the cat another "groom" than to aggravate the situation.
Switch your attention
Try to distract the cat. Any object that makes noise when dropped will do - for example, you can throw a bunch of keys, a rattle, etc.
But don’t try to switch your cat’s attention with sweets: firstly, she has no time for them now, and secondly, you risk reinforcing this behavior with a food reflex.
Unexpected effect
The best way to prevent aggression and make the cat change its mind is to use improvised means. A bunch of keys has already been mentioned. But the most effective method is a spray bottle with water. A stream of water in the muzzle will stop even a wild cat, and the owner will have time to escape.
