Se você conhece bem essa cena, então vive com um gato que ataca sem provocação. Alguns gatos podem se voltar contra você enquanto estão recebendo carinho. Eles podem parecer relaxados e felizes em um momento e, no seguinte, estar bravos e ferozes, deixando sua mão ensanguentada.
Há vários motivos pelos quais um gato pode agir com agressividade sem provocação. Entender a causa pode ajudar você a decidir como resolver esse problema de comportamento felino.
Problemas de saúde
Um gato que está doente por qualquer motivo pode apresentar uma mudança repentina de personalidade. Um gato que antes era dócil e carinhoso pode se tornar distante e agressivo. Um gato com uma lesão pode atacar quando você toca em uma área dolorida. Leve seu gato ao veterinário para descobrir se há um motivo médico para o comportamento dele.
Falta de socialização
Gatinhos que não são manipulados regularmente por pessoas quando jovens crescem e se tornam gatos que não sabem socializar adequadamente com humanos. Isso pode se transformar em agressividade, pois eles podem ter medo de pessoas ou simplesmente não saber como interagir adequadamente com elas.
O gato pode estar protegendo seu território contra invasões. Nesses casos, o gato não aceitou os humanos como amigos. Ele vê as pessoas como inimigas que estão invadindo seu território.
Hiperestesia
A hiperestesia é um transtorno de ansiedade reconhecido em gatos. Gatos com hiperestesia são excessivamente sensíveis a qualquer toque ao longo da coluna e da cauda. Ao receber carinho nas costas, podem ter espasmos musculares, tornar-se agressivos ou até parecer ter alucinações. Os especialistas não compreendem totalmente essa condição, mas duas teorias sugerem que ela seja um tipo de transtorno convulsivo ou uma forma de transtorno obsessivo-compulsivo.
Como impedir que um gato ataque
Se a agressividade do seu gato não for causada por uma condição médica, você pode tomar algumas medidas em casa para ajudá-lo a se sentir mais confortável perto de pessoas. Certifique-se de que seu gato tenha um espaço de refúgio onde possa se esconder, sentir-se seguro e descansar um pouco das pessoas. Uma cama coberta para gatos ou uma árvore para gatos alta funciona bem como refúgio para o bichano. Quando seu gato estiver nesse espaço, deixe-o em paz. Passe um tempo com seu gato oferecendo os petiscos favoritos dele. Dê os petiscos enquanto faz carinho para ajudá-lo a associar o carinho a coisas boas. Nunca bata nem grite com seu gato, pois isso apenas reforçará o medo e os comportamentos agressivos dele.
Se você já tentou todas essas coisas em casa e seu gato continua agressivo, peça ajuda ao veterinário. O veterinário pode prescrever medicamentos para ajudar com problemas de comportamento felino. Ele também pode recomendar um especialista em comportamento felino que possa ir à sua casa e dar orientações mais específicas para a personalidade e o comportamento do seu gato.

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 ...
