Angry cat

Cats are not used to receiving permanent physical contact, they can get used to it and enjoy being caressed but they are not always willing to do so. They usually prefer to keep a certain distance.

It may happen that the cat reacts unexpectedly when it is being stroked, attacking the hand.

The causes of these behaviors can be several, If the kitten has not had good contact before seven weeks, he may become suspicious. Another reason may be pain. If a cat had never behaved aggressively and suddenly becomes very violent, you should take him to the vet to rule out that it is a problem or physical ailment, it may happen that he has an injury that is not visible to the naked eye but that causes a great pain.

Some manifestations that can show us that it is not good humor: it lowers its ears, shows its teeth, moves its tail from one side to the other, becomes tense, makes sudden movements, bristles its hair, the eyes open very nervous and the pupils dilate.

Learn to observe it to know what is happening, learn to be patient and so you can observe the which is why he cannot bear to be touched. You must respect the personality of the cats, since you can hardly change it.
