If your cat exhibits aggressive behavior, you might consider the following tips:

　　1. If it is a lonely old cat, consider adding a kitten for companionship. Because an old and young cat can more easily accept each other, but note that the kitten should be brought home by someone the old cat has never met. This person’s appearance is to ensure the old cat does not associate you with the kitten and become jealous.

　　2. If the old cat shows hostility towards the kitten, try calling the kitten the “old cat’s kitten,” as this can create a positive connection between them.

　　Also, when speaking to the kitten, talk to the old cat at the same time to engage the old cat and allow normal contact with the kitten, thereby nurturing their relationship.

　　3. If the cat is particularly nervous around someone, try describing that person as the cat’s person, such as “This is the cat’s Lily, and it is Lily’s cat.” This links them together. This can dispel the cat’s tension and anxiety toward that person, but it requires repeated practice.

　　4. Cats are very sensitive to their owner’s emotions. As the owner, you should engage in stress-reducing exercises and activities so that both you and your cat can relax.

　　5. Some owners go to the vet to use sedatives to control the cat’s emotions, but merely trying sedatives is a temporary solution;

　　For effectiveness, you must rebuild the cat’s behavior accompanied by sedatives. This can help the cat reduce aggressive triggering behaviors.

　　6. Music also has a relaxing effect on cats and can reduce their aggressive behavior. So, you can play your music with gentle background music, which also helps soothe the cat.

　　7. When cats feel nervous, they naturally use their claws to attack enemies, so you should regularly trim your cat’s nails. When trimming, it’s best if another person holds the cat to distract its attention.

　　In summary, most cat aggression is caused by emotional triggers, so owners should avoid anything that might affect the cat’s emotions. （Image source: Visual China)
