'''Fear-related aggression is a motivational diagnosis and it can be associated with a variety of contexts'''. In some cases it may therefore be beneficial to add a contextual label as part of the diagnosis. For example, a cat that is aggressive when handled by the owner may be diagnosed as displaying "aggression associated with handling" that is fear motivated and a cat that is fearful of strangers and shows aggression to the owners when visitors are present may be diagnosed as a case of "redirected aggression", which is motivated by frustration of the fear response. In both cases "fear-related aggression" is the underlying motivational diagnosis and treatment of the cat’s underlying fear is crucial to the success of treatment but the contextual labels help the owner to understand when the behaviour may occur and to take steps to avoid it.
