Many people think that cats are so friendly, how can they catch people? In fact, under special circumstances, cats will really attack people fiercely. To solve the problem of cats hurting people, we must understand why cats are like this.

1. Analysis of cat attack behavior

1. Fear-induced attack

When cats feel scared, their counterattack or escape reaction mechanism is activated. Most cats tend to escape from danger.

If they are forced into a dead corner, or have nowhere to escape for other reasons, they will choose to attack.

2. Transfer attack resistance

If cats cannot resist the attack source through revenge, they will transfer this emotion to the nearest person or other animals. All the long-suppressed attack emotions are released on attacks you think are no reason.

3. Pain causes attacks

For humans, this is perhaps the easiest type of attack. The poor kitten is immersed in pain, so naturally, it will feel irritated and try to attack everyone around it.

4. Cat owners are most familiar with. Some cats are more sensitive to caress than others. If you often live with such sensitive felines, you will soon know the exact length of the time.

5. Disease-induced attacks

Cats become aggressive may also be due to medical problems. If you suspect that cats are violent, it may be related to rabies, you must contact your doctor or veterinarian immediately.

2. Correction of cats' aggressive behaviors

1. Good contact habits

First of all, we must develop good habits of contacting humans for cats from an early age, so that they know that some of their behaviors are not liked by their owners.

2. Bite to show anger

The cat will accidentally bite your hand when eating food from your hands enthusiastically and anxiously. At this time, you should make an angry sound or shout loudly to let him know that you don’t like him doing this.

3. Don't hold the cat stick in your hand

When playing with a cat, try not to directly hold the toy with your hands to play with the cat. The cat is not light or heavy when playing, and its reaction speed is faster than that of a human. You often catch you without preparation.

4. Don't use your hands to lure

Develop good habits for cats since childhood. Try not to tease them with your hands, especially don't put your fingers beside his mouth and then suddenly take them away. This action will make him treat your hands as prey and instinctively snatch and bite your hands.

5. Two cats are companionship

Friends with conditions can consider raising two cats at the same time. The two cats are companions with each other, and they can play well. The owner will not be lonely when he is not at home, and he will not attack people because he has a playmate.

3. Precautions for punishing cats

1. Do not spoil too much

In the process of raising pet cats, we always emphasize that we cannot spoil too much, and that we cannot tolerate cats without principles and without bottom line. When a cat makes mistakes and behaves stubbornly, it is necessary to punish it.

2. The owner has a kind attitude

When getting along with the cat, the owner has a kind attitude. Although cats are pets, they also have strong self-esteem and a stubborn personality. They don't want to be at the mercy of everything.

3. Resolute punishment attitude

When the cat makes a serious mistake, the owner must stop it in time and scold it loudly. The owner should be firm in criticizing and punishing the cat, but he should not punish the cat too much to avoid being annoyed and hated by the owner.

4. Do not beat and scold the cat at will. During the punishment process, the owner cannot grab the cat at will and beat it at will, nor can he yell and scold the cat at will.

5. Punishing cats should be timely and timely educated. If the cat has wrong behavior, the pet owner should educate and punish immediately. Because cats don’t have a long memory time, and if they wait for too long, they will forget to do the wrong things, which will not have a good educational effect, and will instead lead to psychological problems in the cat.
