How to Deal with Aggressive Cats
Many times, when we see pet cats at home, they lie quietly and peacefully. Sometimes, they also really enjoy being petted and hugged by their owners. All these states indicate that the cats are well-trained and have gentle temperaments. However, cats can also have explosive moods. When a cat is upset or agitated, it may bite or attack enemies. So, what should you do when a cat attacks a person?
First, when a cat is in heat, its emotions can become irritable and it is more likely to attack people. If the owner supports pet neutering, they can choose to have the cat neutered. Cats that have been neutered will no longer go into heat, nor have irritable and aggressive behavior.
Second, when a cat feels that the surrounding environment is dangerous or too oppressive, causing the cat to endure a lot of external stress, it may also attack people. Therefore, ensuring a stable and harmonious living environment for the cat and maintaining a good mood for the cat can effectively reduce instances of cat aggression.
Third, a long-term gloomy life and a repressive living environment can cause a cat to develop anxiety disorder, making its emotions easily excitable. If the cat develops psychological illness, aggressive behavior towards people can become particularly serious. At this time, the owner should take the pet cat to see a doctor and seek professional effective treatment, returning the cat to a healthy mental state.
When a cat shows aggressive behavior, the owner should first identify the cause of the aggression, and then take specific countermeasures. If the aggression is caused by psychological problems, then treatment should be administered promptly. If the aggression is caused by bad living habits, the owner can give appropriate reprimands and punishments to change the cat's bad habit of attacking people.
