Before "taming", to understand not bad why a cat "angry". Actually, the animal cannot be "angry" or "kind" are human concepts which try to estimate behavior of animals.
Cat – first of all an animal. And if she "angry", i.e. behaves aggressively, not tenderly, it is necessary to look for the reasons and only then to try to correct her behavior.
It is a little about basic physiological requirements
If the animal behaves uneasily, aggressively, so are not satisfied some of his basic requirements. These requirements so not accidentally are called: this set of conditions is necessary for survival of an individual. Are necessary for animals:
- food; - safety; - satisfaction of an instinct of reproduction and maternal instinct. The good owner will surely provide to a cat of a condition for satisfaction of basic requirements.
It is necessary to consider also temperament of a cat. Temperament – the psycho-physiological property of an individual inherent both to the person, and highest animal (mammals).
Signs of aggressive behavior of catsIt is easily possible to determine by a number of signs that the cat is nervous and is angry: - the animal presses ears to the head; - pupils extend; - the cat "plays" a tail: pulls, actively waves here and there; - the animal curves a back, wool rises on end; - the cat hisses, utrobno howls; - the animal bites, scratched. Experts distinguish aggression of several types, and methods of correction of behavior need to be chosen depending on by what it is caused.
Territorial aggressionCats are individualists. They will defend the territory in all available ways. Territorial aggression arises, as a rule, if in the house other cat appears. In this case it is important to owner to show that he equally appreciates and loves both animals: to feed at the same time with equal quantity of a forage, to play with them at the same time, to endow equally with caress and attention. And then animals will have no reasons for rivalry.
Game aggression The cat can show excessive "eagerness" during the game: to snatch on "toy", to torment it, at the same time can scratch or bite the person playing with it, to spoil things with which plays. Knowing such feature of the pet, you should not provoke his aggressive behavior: it is necessary to play with it less or to refuse temporarily games. If during the game the animal shows signs of aggression, it is necessary to pass to quieter way of communication with it (to take on hands, to stroke) or to leave alone.
Aggression because of fearIf someone offended an animal, strongly frightened him, the cat can "revenge", i.e. behave aggressively in relation to this person. Therefore you should not punish cats, especially to beat them. To live with a cat peacefully, it is necessary that the animal trusted those near whom lives, did not wait from them for troubles – and then she will have no reasons for "rage".
Hunting aggression
Cats – predators therefore they expressed a hunting instinct. At manifestation of hunting aggression the cat does not show typical signs of aggressive behavior. On the contrary, she tries to hide, quietly creeps to subject to hunting and, having chosen a moment, makes a sharp throw. If the animal chose undesirable "subject to hunting", at the owner, as a rule, there is time to move away him from a field of vision of a cat. Happens that the listed ways do not help to cope with aggressive behavior. In this case it is better to consult the expert. Perhaps, the cat should give medicines.
Only the veterinarian can appoint the calming medicines to an animal!
Sometimes after sterilization the behavior of an animal becomes quieter.
