INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If a cat is displaying aggressive behavior early in life you should try to change it quickly. Eliminating aggressive behavior in a young cat or kitten can prevent it from becoming habit. Even if a cat is older it is still worth your time to try and reduce its aggression. The cat will simply take more time to change its behavior than than a young cat would. In order to minimize the cat's aggression, you need to get to the root of the problem. Start by thinking about what has changed in the animal's life that may be giving it anxiety. Also be on the lookout for what happens to and around the cat right before an episode. If you can figure out where the aggression is coming from, you may be able to mitigate it. Some common reasons for aggression include: Fear Defensiveness Conflict with other animals Redirected anger Territorial feelings Predatory aggression Overstimulation Rough play excitement Maternal protection General irritability Pain Thyroid issues Lack of attention Change in location Past trauma There are typically some warning signs that your cat is going to become aggressive before it strikes out. By identifying them, and stopping the stimulus that is causing the behavior, you can sometimes avoid the incident altogether. While each cat's behavior before an aggressive episode can differ, some common signs include: Crouching or squatting Tucking the head down Wide eyes with dilated pupils Retracted whiskers Hissing or spitting Putting its hackles up Ears flattened back If you have figured out that your cat's aggression has a specific cause, make any possible adjustments that will eliminate the cause. There are some issues that can be eliminated by making changes to the cat's living situation or interactions. For example, if your cat gets aggressive when you play roughly with it, stop that kind of play. If your cat has a hard time with other animals, it might be best to keep it as an only pet. As you are trying to change your cat's behavior, it is important to let the animal know when it is doing a good job. Rewarding the cat with treats or a game it likes to play when it is acting nicely is a good way of showing it the right kind of behavior. For example, if your cat gets aggressive when it is petted for too long, reward it when it doesn't exhibit this behavior. Pet it lightly for a few moments in your lap and before the interaction goes awry set it on the floor. Then give it a treat for its good behavior. If you repeat this process, the cat will eventually learn that it gets something it likes if it does not strike out in anger.

SUMMARY: Start your intervention early. Figure out what is causing the aggression. Identify the signs that your cat is about to become aggressive. Make adjustments that will ease your cat's aggression. Reward good behavior.
