Se conosci fin troppo bene questa scena, allora vivi con un gatto che attacca senza provocazione. Alcuni gatti possono rivoltarsi contro di te mentre li accarezzi. Possono sembrare rilassati e felici in un momento e, quello successivo, arrabbiati e feroci, lasciandoti con una mano insanguinata.
Ci sono diversi motivi per cui un gatto manifesta aggressività senza provocazione. Comprendere la causa può aiutarti a decidere come affrontare e risolvere questo problema comportamentale felino.
Problemi di salute
Un gatto malato, per qualsiasi motivo, può avere un improvviso cambiamento di personalità. Un gatto prima dolce e affettuoso può diventare distaccato e aggressivo. Un gatto ferito può attaccare quando tocchi un punto dolente. Porta il tuo gatto dal veterinario per scoprire se c'è una ragione medica dietro al suo comportamento.
Mancanza di socializzazione
I gattini che non vengono manipolati regolarmente dalle persone fin da piccoli crescono diventando gatti che non sanno come socializzare correttamente con gli esseri umani. Questo può trasformarsi in aggressività, perché possono temere le persone o semplicemente non sanno come interagire correttamente con loro.
Il gatto potrebbe proteggere il proprio territorio da un'intrusione. In questi casi, il gatto non ha accettato gli esseri umani come amici. Vede le persone come nemici che invadono il suo territorio.
Iperestesia
L'iperestesia è un disturbo d'ansia riconosciuto nei gatti. I gatti con iperestesia sono eccessivamente sensibili a qualsiasi contatto lungo la colonna vertebrale e la coda. Quando vengono accarezzati sulla schiena, possono avere spasmi muscolari, diventare aggressivi o persino sembrare avere allucinazioni. Gli esperti non comprendono completamente questa condizione, ma due teorie sostengono che si tratti di un tipo di disturbo convulsivo o di una forma di disturbo ossessivo-compulsivo.
Come fermare un gatto che attacca
Se l'aggressività del tuo gatto non è causata da una condizione medica, puoi adottare alcune misure a casa per aiutarlo a sentirsi più a suo agio con le persone. Assicurati che il tuo gatto abbia un'area in cui ritirarsi, dove possa nascondersi, sentirsi al sicuro e prendersi una pausa dalle persone. Una cuccia coperta o un tiragraffi alto sono ottimi rifugi per il tuo micio. Quando il tuo gatto si trova in questo spazio, lascialo in pace. Trascorri del tempo con il tuo gatto dandogli i suoi snack preferiti. Dagli gli snack mentre lo accarezzi, per aiutarlo ad associare le carezze a esperienze positive. Non picchiare né urlare mai contro il tuo gatto, perché questo non farà che rafforzare la sua paura e i suoi comportamenti aggressivi.
Se hai provato tutte queste cose a casa e il tuo gatto è ancora aggressivo, chiedi aiuto al veterinario. Il veterinario può prescrivere farmaci per aiutare a gestire i problemi comportamentali del gatto. Può anche consigliarti un comportamentalista felino che possa venire a casa tua e darti ulteriori consigli specifici per la personalità e il comportamento del tuo gatto.

We have had our cat 4 four years, we have had him since he was six weeks old. He is a sweet affectionate cat. My husband works from home and have become real buddies. The cat follows him everywhere. My husband is the main caregiver, grooms him, cuts his nails, changes his litter everyday with no issues. In the last 2 month's and as recently as two days ago he has tried to attack my husband for no reason. This last episode was very strange. My husband came home the cat was lying on the bed, my husband as normal petted him and he started to purr and proceeded to turn his belly for rubs as he always does. Husband came to the kitchen with kitty in tow and gave him treats. Husband was going on with his day and kitty walked under the dining room table to groom. My husband then went to clean out his box (which he has done for 4 years with no issues) and all heck broke loose. Cat started growling and hissing very violently puff tail and all and chased him into the bedroom and kept him trapped in there for an hour! continuing to growl and trying relentlessly to get into the room. I arrived home and he was back ti his playful self. The very next day I was home and again my husband went to clean his box and he started again this time I was able to defuse the situation but if I wasn’t home he would have done it again. I know some of you reading this may think my husband would have done something to get this reaction but this is not the case. We are both huge animal lovers and my hubby is kitty best friend. Ive always said that the kitty is addicted to him because he works from home. Now my husband is getting surgery and has to recover at home and now wants the cat gone. What could be causing this?
My cat did the exact same with me on Xmas day after cleaning his litter. He’d only been with us for 2 wks we rescued him. Everything has been fine since & he’s settled in nicely.
But he has just attacked me yesterday again 5 mins after doing his litter. He’s been fine this morning was brushing round my legs a minute later after I’d walked to the other end kitchen he came at me again hissing & teeth bared my husband managed to get him away from me
My cat is lovesble and doesnt fight with other cats and gets along with my dog. But tonight is the 3rd time she attacked me. I was petting her and she loved it and was purring and rolling with her head down and getting excited and out of nowhere she attacked a d I have 3 punctures in my hand from her teeth and 2 punctures from her claws. Out of reflex I popped her on her hind quarters and yelled. She then almost looked cornered and acted as if she was ready to attack again. It kind of scared me. She is 6 and have had her since she was a few months old. It is almost like she gets over excited. Sometimes I walk away before she gets that excited. But this time I forgot. I feel bad I hit her, but it was a reaction. It wasn't hard. But it isn't something you should ever do. 😞
I don't know what to do any more. My cat kept attacking me this morning. He flew across the room and tried to land on my chest. I pushed him away and he went for my hands then feet. I have two puncture wounds. I picked him up and put him on our screened in porch. He looked so scary as he went for me, His rage was very frightening. His ears flattened and his eyes became fully dilated. He is four years old and this is not the first unprovoked incident. I don't know what to do.. It's so sad.
Hi Doreen,
I lived same situation this week.
I don't understand, like a we turned the switch and she becomes angry and terrified. She attacked me two times. What is your situation now? Did you find what is the problems?
The first time my cat Benny attacked me was after I came home from twelve days in the hospital . It really shocked me as his ears went back and he advanced toward me , I did not expect this . It has happened a few times since and usually draws blood ...
