An "evil cat" locks a woman for two days ... and rescue teams intervene, A Russian woman was exposed to a frightening situation that forced her to remain hostage in her kitchen for two days, due to her ferocious cat that attacked her whenever she tried to get out.
An animal rescue foundation in the Russian city of Arkhangelsk published a statement explaining the course of events, saying that on January 19, a woman walking on the street spotted a woman waving from her kitchen window on the third floor of a building.
The woman told passers-by that she needed help to get out of her kitchen, which she stayed inside for two days, for fear of her cat, which was behaving in a strange and aggressive way, according to the "Audity Central" website.
After calling the emergency service at the city's animal rescue, aid was sent to free the woman. Because the door to her house was locked from the inside, rescuers had to climb a ladder to reach her window and take her safely out of the kitchen. Rescuers also managed to catch the "evil" cat, calling on its owner to present it to a veterinarian to identify the reason that prompted her to act aggressively.
Causes of aggressive cat behavior
Aggressive cat behavior in the natural environment
Aggression in cats may be unnatural, but cats in the end are an animal and have their predatory instinct, so in normal times the cat can be aggressive and friendly at the same time, as he shows his aggression while trying to attack him to defend himself, and in quiet times he remains calm.
Female cats may be less aggressive and higher in friendliness than male cats, but this is in the natural conditions in which the cat is raised, such as being in a safe environment or raising her between her parents.
There are some reasons that make the cat aggressive and fierce, which increase the natural limit of these reasons:
The cat's psychological state may make him aggressive, especially when he feels that he is trapped or trapped and cannot escape, as he is very tense and may appear aggressive.
Cats, just like dogs, are exposed to stress and anxiety when they feel cluttered or loud and noisy, and when they move to a new place or meet new people.
The behavior of the cat owner with the cat may be the reason for making it an aggressive cat. If you encourage her to attack others at playtime, even if this is as a joke, he will understand that this is acceptable and normal.
Sick cats when playing with them may show their aggression with you, you should notice the emergence of any other symptoms besides the ferocity of your cat, as this aggression may be from the severity of the pain you feel towards any other disease you are exposed to at this time.
Also, do not forget that the cat’s age plays an important role. Old cats hate to play or move away from kittens.
Types of aggressive cat behavior
1- Aggression between cats to each other: Your cats may be isolated at home away from other cats, so when they leave the house, they are aggressive even with cats like them because they did not recognize them before.
Cats may also feel angry when you bring a new cat to live with you in the house, so you must learn how to get him to meet the other cat and get to know him.
2- Aggression towards people: In both cases, this is due to the cat being isolated for a long time away from people, and the cats' failure to socialize properly.
How to deal with aggressive cats
When you modify your cat's behavior, you need to be calm and patient so that you don't anger him any more, and it will be reversed.
Even if you see your cat dealing with aggression, do not punish or reproach her in any way, he will not understand or connect things to each other, but will increase his anger and aggression more and more, so take the matter completely calmly.
Leave the cat in the moment of its aggression so that it is not exposed to any danger, and if it does not calm down in a few seconds, leave the place where it sits and do not return to this place again, until it is completely calm.
Do not pet him to calm down, but rather show him that you are angry at this previous action without hurting him or reprimanding him - as mentioned -
Leave the way for him to leave, so when you move from room to the second and you find him on your way and he begins to whine or roar again, give him the way until he turns away from you, so he thinks at this time that he is trapped.
Never give him candy or play with him at all during this time so that he doesn't understand that you are rewarding him for the act.
You have to understand your cat's personality well and understand what provokes him and what is the reason for making him act aggressively at this time, and if he continues to repeat this act many times, say the word "no" firmly, he understands facial expressions and body language and can deal with it and if he stops this Reward the action.
