Tips for Managing Aggression In Cats



Aggressive displays in cats are never welcomed by pet owners. This is one of the reasons why cats are abandoned or surrendered to the shelter by their owners. Here are some tips for managing cat aggression:

• Don’t let the felines straighten out their mess with fighting.  It will not resolve anything. Fighting will not do anything well but instead will be a catalyst to further fights.  To stop a catfight, splash them with water, or try making a loud noise that will stupefy them.

• Spaying your cats is the best way to remove their urge to fight. 

• Don’t let them share resources. Give each cat her litter box, toys, etc. in different spots in your home.

• Never try to pacify your feline. Give her some space and alone time to simmer down those emotions.  That aggression might be directed towards you if you try to come near her.

• Reinforce friendly behavior by giving treats. 

• Try using pheromones.  This product copies a natural feline odor which reduces feline aggression.  You can use a diffuser to launch this. By the way, humans can’t smell this and be affected by it.

If you have any questions or concerns about your pet’s behavior, don’t hesitate to contact your veterinary clinic Lewisville, TX.
