Hissing reasons

It is quite possible that the animal at this moment just ate and regarded your approach as attempt at a tidbit. Especially the kittens who did not acquire conventions of social hierarchy yet sin with such behavior. Or perhaps just at you something dropped out from hands on a floor with loud knock. Here it is precisely possible to tell that hissing was caused by a strong fright.

Domestication of a catAnd only if from your point of view the cat hisses without any reasons seen on that, it is possible to try to disaccustom her to this bad habit. If hissing is reaction to your approach, it is better to leave an animal for some time alone and to give it the chance to get used to you. You can sit down nearby on a floor, without trying at the same time neither to approach an animal, nor to call up it, nor to allure delicacy. Just be near, and sooner or later the cat will cease to show fear, perhaps, will even show some interest. But also at this moment you cannot show impatience, to begin to do hasty movements in its party. Remain on the place, talk with it by a low tender voice, wait until the cat itself approaches you and will show desires to be rubbed by a muzzle about a hand.
