*In general cats try to escape or avoid conflict and fighting is usually the 'last resort' defence strategy.
*It is essential to determine the motivation for aggressive behaviour and whether it is normal feline behaviour or abnormal aggression.
*The most common motivational causes of aggression from cats to people include fear, anxiety, frustration and misdirection of predatory instinct.
*The most critical aspect of managing aggressive cats is therefore to enable the cat to manage its fear in a non-aggressive way.
