If you want to talk about the most obvious difference between raising a cat and raising a dog, it may be that if you hit the dog, it will not attack you; but even if you coax the cat every day, it will bite you when you are not paying attention. Therefore, in the eyes of people, cats love to bite and attack people for no reason. In fact, it is not. The little cat will not do this kind of obscure thing. Therefore, there are really reasons why cats attack you. The following five are the more common reasons why cats attack people.

One, self-protection. This situation is easy to understand, that is, the cat feels dangerous, but can't escape, so it will attack you for self-protection. This is why you may be attacked when you trap a stray cat, and when you just raise a cat and want to have more intimate contact with it when you are not familiar with it, it may bite you. Therefore, be careful when trapping stray cats; don’t be too intimate when you are not familiar with cats.

Two, the battle for territory. Because cats have a strong sense of territory, if a new cat enters the territory, the two cats will fight first to a large extent. If there is no fight, the most likely reason is not that they hit it off at first sight, but that they are too far apart. Therefore, if there is already a cat in the house, and another cat of the same size as it is brought, fighting is easy to happen, and if the owner is close to them at this time, it may also trigger their attacks on people.

Three, competition between males. In the animal kingdom, the females are generally responsible for releasing signals during estrus, while the males are responsible for actively chasing them. So when the female cat is in heat, two male cats will easily fight because of this. And this is not just for cats, it is common in dogs and even most animals. However, because domestic cats are generally neutered, fighting is relatively rare, and they rarely attack people.

Four, the mother cat is lactating. Male cats will exhibit aggressive behavior during estrus, while female cats generally exhibit aggressive behavior during lactation. This is because they instinctively want to protect their children. So at this time, even if the shoveling officer does nothing, he may be attacked by dangling in front of the cat and its children. So don't think that your cat has a good personality. Even if you have a baby with you, you don't think it will attack you. It is better to be careful when facing a nursing mother cat.

Five, sickness and other special reasons. The reason it is said to be a special reason is that cats do not usually attack people, but they will attack people when these reasons occur. For example, a sick cat will explode and attack people because of its discomfort; or you have done something that the cat does not like, such as cutting its nails or taking a bath, it will resist or even attack people; and you often treat it violently , It will also make cats more likely to attack people, but most shit shovel officers are reluctant to be too violent towards kittens.

The more common reasons for cats to attack people are all above. So next time the shovel officer encounters a cat attacking someone, don't hit the cat directly, and don't think that the cat is not good. You must first find the cause before solving the problem. This will not only solve the cat's attack on people, it may also save the cat's life.
