Aggression & Anxiety
Aggression and anxiety in cats can manifest through biting, scratching, hiding, or excessive vocalization. These behaviors often stem from fear, territorial disputes, lack of socialization, or changes in their environment. Anxiety may arise from stressors like new pets, unfamiliar people, or disruptions in routine. To address these issues, identify triggers and provide a safe, calm space for your cat. Enrichment activities, interactive toys, and pheromone diffusers can help reduce stress and prevent aggression. In severe cases, consulting a veterinarian or feline behaviorist is essential. At The Pet Fantasy, we offer expert guidance to help your cat feel secure and happy.
Understanding Aggression in Cats
Aggression in cats is often a response to fear, territorial issues, or frustration. A cat may act aggressively when it feels threatened, whether by a new pet, unfamiliar people, or changes in its environment. Some common signs of aggression include hissing, swatting, biting, and growling. In multi-cat households, aggression may also stem from territorial disputes.
