===Distance Increasing Behaviour===

Cats avoid conflict by maintaining distance between the individuals. The main behaviours involve the whole body posture and certain types of vocalisation.

Unlike dogs, cats have not evolved a set of appeasement behaviours that enable them to diffuse tension in situations of conflict. This is because cats are solitary hunters and do not need to manage the sharing of food resources and reproductive opportunities. Fights between cats impair their fitness and ability to hunt, so cats will generally avoid direct confrontation. Cats avoid conflict by maintaining distance from others, primarily using territorial scent marks (urine & claw marks). When cats that are not part of a social group encounter each other, they use vivid body and facial postures and vocalisations to discourage approach.
