EmilyHart+Followwhy did my sweet cat just attack me mid-cuddle??If your cat’s giving you surprise scratches, it’s not (always) personal. Here’s what might be going on—and how to deal: 1️⃣ Accidental scratch – Trim their nails and use a longer toy to play. 2️⃣ Play aggression – Kittens need social play to learn limits. Adopt after 4 months if possible. 3️⃣ Fear/anxiety – Give them hiding spots and don’t force contact. 4️⃣ Attention-seeking – Spend quality time daily. Learn their warning sounds (like “fu” = getting mad). 5️⃣ Redirected aggression – Never break up cat fights bare-handed. Use blankets or spray bottles. 6️⃣ Startled by noise or object – Start sound desensitization training with rewards. 7️⃣ Pain/illness – Sudden aggression? Check for health issues and visit a vet. 8️⃣ Mating behavior – Spay/neuter. It really helps. 😾 Figure out what’s triggering the behavior and fix it before you get stamped with tiny angry pawprints. #catcare #angrycat #scratchprevention17711Share
Lily Harper+Follow7 signs your cat is secretly disappointed in you 😬Cats don’t scream or destroy stuff just because. If your little buddy’s been acting weird lately… you might’ve ticked them off. Here's how to tell: Nonstop meowing – even at night? They’re annoyed and making sure you hear about it. Avoiding cuddles – running off when you try to pet them = silent protest. Peeing outside the litter box – especially on your bed? That’s revenge. Wrecking the house – tearing up furniture, knocking stuff over = “I’m mad, deal with it.” Hissing at you – that’s not fear, that’s full-on disapproval. Ignoring you – if they used to follow you and now they don’t? Ice cold. Staring with judgment – yeah… that look means what you think it means. Might be time to reflect (and maybe bring treats). #catbehavior #angrycat #petparenttips32234Share
