Sometimes such a cute creature as a cat turns into a real monster. Impudent, evil, aggressive.

What should you do if your furry pet suddenly becomes indescribably angry, ready to attack its owner?

There are ways that can help neutralize your dog's aggression or at least significantly reduce its level.

Noise

Make as much noise as possible to distract the animal. If it works and the cat gives in to its natural curiosity, that is, is distracted to find out what is going on, then its aggression level will decrease.

You can make this noise by clapping your hands, knocking two objects together, ringing a bell, etc.

Important: Before you start making noise, make sure your cat has an escape route in case it wants to run away.

If the animal feels trapped, it may become even more aggressive.

Barricade

If you see that the cat is about to attack you, ensure your own protection.

Place the things that are currently available (bag, jacket, backpack, etc.) in front of you.

This way you will at least somehow barricade yourself and fence yourself off from the evil four-legged creature.

Protect your face and neck. Or better yet, move away from the cat to a safe distance as quickly as possible.

However, the animal often rushes into pursuit. Therefore, the best option would be to make your retreat unnoticeable for the aggressor, that is, you need to distract his attention.

The scruff of the neck

If possible, grab the cat and hold him by the scruff (the loose skin on the neck). This way you gain control over him.

If there is something nearby that you can wrap the animal in (a sweater, a towel, a blanket), throw it over it.

What not to do

Never try to calm a cat by petting it.

In this case, the chances that the animal will bite or scratch you increase significantly.

The thing is that a belligerent cat may perceive your approach as a threat.

But even if you manage to approach, then stroking them will be regarded as an evil intent on your part.
