In fact, cats - animals are cute and affectionate, for this their people love. They are submissive, purr and allow themselves to iron. But sometimes pets have inexplicable behavior - they suddenly show aggression, when you iron it - the cat bites and runs away. About the possible reasons why the cat bites, when it iron, we will talk in detail.
Aggression caused by affection
Experts distinguish several reasons why an animal shows aggression in this case.
Cats sometimes brush each other fur. Most often the mother licking her kittens. Kids first tolerate, then decide that everything is enough. The adult cat perceives the human hand as something similar. After the owner "cleaned" it, the mood of the pet changes dramatically, it perceives the hand as a huge threat and begins to defend itself.
If the animal has something that hurts, worries, and it is in this place that he is stroked, this is likely to cause aggressive behavior. A cat may not allow itself to be ironed and bitten if it had an unpleasant life experience. Sometimes a person can iron it, and then throw it on the floor. Or the veterinarian stroked the animal before some unpleasant procedure. They have a very long memory for the shock situation and the cat remembers an unpleasant event for years. The desire for affection first suppresses fear, but in a few seconds the animal embraces horror - it runs away.
There is a theory that the cat itself decides when it can be ironed, and when not, to emphasize its dominant position.
To extinguish a cat to bite, when stroking is difficult, it is important as closely as possible to follow its behavior, control it. Never need to punish the animal for aggressive behavior, this will cause even greater dislike.
It is necessary to pet the animal the way it likes. Some like it when they scratch under the chin, behind the ear or just over the head and run away when the owner strokes the whole body. There are those who like to touch his tail, and other animals - no.
Each cat is an individual person. Some people like to sit on their hands, and the rest just prefer to lie next to the owner, and they do not need to communicate more closely.
You can predict the aggressive behavior of the animal, because the owner knows what time a cat can calmly respond to affection.
You can use the training and give the cat a treat , when it does not bite, gradually pat the animal until signs of irritation appear and give him a treat. After a while, the pet will understand that stroking is something pleasant, and then a treat will follow.
Be sure to check the animal's vet for possible joint diseases or various infections. And it's important not to try to change the character of a cat - it's impossible, but to accept it as it is.
