Dealing with Aggressive Cats

If your cat behavior problems include ankle biting, your cat may have predatory aggression. In other words, your cat is not getting enough play and exercise to simulate their hunting activities in the wild. Your cat doesn't have very many moving options inside the house so they go for your ankles. But, you can discourage these cat behavior problems with these tips: · When your cat attacks or bites your ankles, give them an appropriate toy to play with, like a mouse on a string. This will simulate the experiences they would have if they were hunting in the wild. · Fishing line toys that you reel in are also an excellent choice. Some people simply tie a toy onto a piece of string, and then tie the string to their belt, dragging the toy along behind them. · Often, just giving your cat enough play time and exercise will cure your cat of this and other cat behavior problems, so don't forget to play with them every day.
