~~==Immediate Intervention==~~

−

It is the owner’s duty to protect people and other animals from harm. Muzzling is not generally a viable option for cats, but some basic safety provisions, such as exclusion from the room and provision of physical barriers between cat and victim, may be made.

−

The cat’s primary response to threat is to avoid it or escape from it. The most critical aspect of managing aggressive cats is therefore to '''enable the cat to manage its [[Feline Fear and Stress|fear]] in a non-aggressive way'''. Giving the cat escape routes and reliable places to hide will reduce its need to display aggression.
