Aggressive behavior of cats

The aggressive behavior of cats can be due to many problems. When you're experiencing bad behavior in your own cat, the first thing to do is to take the cat for a vet visit and ask for a full comprehensive checkup. Especially if it has been a year or more since your last vet appointment.

The aggressive behavior of cats can sometimes be attributed to medical conditions. If your cat doesn't feel good, or has an ailment that causes pain, such as arthritis, a nerve condition or other pain related problems, this can lead to aggressive behavior of cats in the form of lashing out at the hand that feeds them.

Behavior of cats diagnosis

If all checks out medically, then you can move on and try to find out the root cause of the cats aggressive behavior. A quick story about Riley. When we moved into our new house. Reilly would run around and look out all of the windows in a frantic manner. You could see by the look on her face that she was upset with her new environment.

Riley had moved many times before and was not affected. When we would approach Riley to try to calm her down. She would turn and swat at us or hiss. I backed off and decided to study what she was looking at. Our new development had a lot of outside cats that would roam the street. For the first time, Riley was looking at other cats outside, and this coupled with her new environment was causing aggressive behavior.

What we did was close all the blinds and window shades, and even taped them securely shut. This stopped Riley from looking outside and allowed her to get comfortable with her own immediate new environment. After about a month, we released one shade and let her look out one window.
