Did your cat attack you suddenly? If the answer is yes, then, probably, you become an object of false directed cat's aggression, simply speaking, you "comes to cat's hand" annoyed by somebody else. Unexpected and, on the first sight, unprovoked attacks happens, if the object of cat's aggressiveness is unattainable for her or has disappeared. In such circumstances cat can change a direction of the rage and attacks the nearest one - owner.
Cat acting so, isn't aggressive by nature. The experts came to a conclusion that almost in all cases of cats' bites the diagnosis sounds as "the false directed aggression". Such cases can be avoided; if to understand, how there situations appear and how can they be corrected.
Appearance of another cat even on a distance or behind the window or glass door is enough to infuriate your cat. It always happens when two unacquainted cats meets nose to nose. Many owners of the cats told, that had undergone to such an attack, when tried to separate two fighting cats. Actually, sometimes the presence of an owner is enough to provoke an attack.
The piercing sounds, unusual scents, arrival of the visitors and other sort of anxiety in cat's surroundings, can become a reason of an aggressive behavior. Sometimes several unpleasant facilitators influence on delicate cat's psyche at once, and then cat can stay excited for many hours.
The experts in behaviour of animals from University of Pennsylvania (USA) had developed the program - an output from such situations. At first it is necessary to clarify the circumstances preceding the attack: a site of cat and factors, which could influence upon her. By revealing possible facilitators, it is necessary to avoid influence of such facilitators.
Do not try to calm down a cat or influence on her somehow. Indications of cat's excitation are hissing, growling, swinging tail and rear fur. As soon as cat begins to do any outside matters - licking or eating, the possibility of attack usually disappears.
