Any changes in a cat's behavior indicate that something has broken in the communication between the person and the animal.

We invite you to learn about 5 reasons that can result in aggression from your pet.

Lack or absence of games

Aggression can arise from a lack of or improperly organized games. If a cat starts attacking or biting its owner, it may be trying to involve him in a game.

Try to entertain your pet with gentle games in which the cat can focus on the hunting process and “catching” the prey - this helps reduce aggression.

Obsessive behavior

Monitor your behavior as well – perhaps cat aggression is a consequence of the fact that a person often disturbs the animal, especially at times when the cat wants to be alone.

Communication between people

A cat can become aggressive if people around it speak in raised tones, show anger towards each other, etc. As a result, the pet feels insecure and uneasy. Loud sounds are unpleasant for the cat, and negativity coming from people makes it feel vulnerable. In this case, the cat's behavior should be considered a form of defensive aggression.

The reason is inside the cat

Sometimes an animal's behavior is caused by hormonal influences or health problems. Therefore, it would not hurt to show the purr to the vet in case of unmotivated aggression.

Lack of trust

If your pet has had a difficult life experience, it is likely that it is constantly on guard and defensive. It will take time, love, and patience to teach your cat to trust you again.
