Cat Behaviors - Aggressive Cat Behaviors and How to Control Them

By Becky Cohen
Do you have a cat with aggressive cat behaviors? If so, this can be very frustrating day in and day out. Cat behaviors are very hard to control and it is very hard to communicate clearly with a cat to put a stop to the bad behaviors. If you have a cat that claws at you and bites you then the cat has bad behaviors that can be corrected. The issue with correcting bad cat behaviors is the potential cost of a professional trainer. If you do not have a lot of time to properly train your cat and believe that you have to pay a professional cat trainer you are mistaken.
There are plenty of programs available today that you can use to properly train your cat yourself. It may take you some time to train your cat by yourself, but you will be making a special connection with your cat by doing it yourself. It is very important to have a good relationship and good understanding of one another with your cat. Training a cat is much different than training a dog, but it is possible to put an end to bad cat behaviors. The most common root to bad behaviors is letting a cat think your hands are toys. Once this is instilled into a cat's brain it is hard to break them of these behaviors.
In conclusion, aggressive cat behavior can be suppressed. It may take a little time and patience to "cure" your cat from these behaviors, but it will be well worth it in the end. I'm sure you would much rather enjoy your cat all day instead of bits and pieces of each day.
