Cat Behavior- Angry Cats


Do you have an angry cat? Having an angry cat is no fun as a cat owner, but fortunately there are some things you can do to quickly change your cat’s behavior.


The two most common cat behavior problems encountered by most owners are failure to use the litter box and feline aggression. Cat behavior problems are the most common reasons why owners give their cats up to shelters. Most have tried to deal with these problems for a long time, have tried every possible resource, and can’t take it any more.


If you are one of these owners, hopefully you will find some suggestions here to help you deal with your aggressive cat. An aggressive cat can take many forms. From the simple nipping at your toes, to the more aggressive, and scary physical attacks on owners by their cats.


Many people get frustrated with their cat because one minute they are petting their cat and then the next minute they bite you and run away. Most people are taken by complete surprise by this, but if you start observing your cat more closely you should be able to pick up some subtle signs that your cat is about to attack.


My cat would only bite my wife on the legs or toes when she was sitting on the couch. After a while we learned what to look for when the cat was approaching her. We found that when the cat was in a biting mood its approach towards my wife was more direct. The cat’s head would be done and so would be the tail. When the cat was in a petting mood, the head and tail would be up.


Once you start to recognize early warning signs that your cat is in an angry mood you can take steps to change your cat’s attention and mood.
