What are the reasons why cats beat people
1. In order to compete for resources and territory
The cats raised have different personalities, and the corresponding owners have different positions in front of cats with different personalities. Some owners are the cat’s owners, while others are the ruthless shit-shoveling tools in the cat’s heart, or just the little brother that the cat recognizes. As the owner, I don’t know why the status is so different. In many cases, when the cat does not recognize the owner, when it finds that its food and territory are invaded by the owner, it may lead to beating. For example, if the owner seizes the sofa or other position that the cat likes to lie on, or the storage cabinet takes away the snacks for exclusive use, the cat may be beaten by the cat.
2. Excessive stress to the unfamiliar environment
When the cat is in an unfamiliar environment or the cat is in an environment with unfamiliar food, the cat will be on nervous alert state, once there is some turbulence, it is to cause them to launch a deterrent or defensive attack. For example, when the cat is moved or taken to an unfamiliar environment, it is likely to attack the owner. Or some new furniture and supplies have been added to the home, which may also cause him to attack because of his nervousness.
3. Emotional fluctuations caused by the failure of the target to be achieved
When the owner fails to meet the requirements and goals of the cat, it may also be attacked by it. For example, if you don’t give it enough food or don’t pay enough attention, you may also be attacked by it.
4. Negative memory is triggered
Cats have strong associative memory ability. When something or behavior causes the cat to feel fear or anxiety, the cat will also launch an “inexplicable” attack. For example, if your cat is usually averse to bathing, when it sees you opening the bathroom door, it may mistake you for grabbing it to go to the bath and attack you.
5. Feeling Pain or Suffering from Disease
When the cat feels pain due to trauma or arthritis, it will protect itself on the one hand, and make “to scare people with its teeth and claws.” ” behavior to hide their weaknesses; on the other hand, they may become irritable and impatient because of pain, and they are more likely to attack. In addition, in a cat with rabies in the late stages of the disease, the cat can be affected by the nervous system, resulting in increased aggression.
6. Doing things that cats don’t like
For example, if the owner licks the cat for too long or touches the restricted area of the cat, it will easily arouse its anger and attack you . In addition, cats hate being restrained, so they are particularly resistant to daily nail clipping, tooth brushing, feeding medicine, etc., and even attack their owners because of this. But in fact, in the cat’s view, this is a legitimate defense, not an intentional attack.
The above is our summary of the reasons why cats beat people. I wonder if your cat has done the above behavior to you? I hope this introduction can help owners to take precautions in advance.
