Cat aggression seems to be on the increase.
As it is not a natural trait of cats, finding the cause is the best way to resolving the problem.
Finding the cause of any problem can take time and a special type of mind which thrives on problems, but in this case, it may be easy.
Let's examine the most obvious causes of aggression in cats.
Obviously, one of the first problems could be from being teased.
No animal likes to be teased.
Small children often don't know their boundaries with animals and may be making your cat's life a misery, especially an indoor cat, who generally has no way of escape.
Others, who don't like cats, can also make a domestic cat's life unpleasant.
Becoming aggressive in these circumstances is not only natural, it is necessary to survive.
Remove the problem and the aggression will slip away, in time although trust will inevitably become a problem.
However, if these options can be ruled out without a shadow of a doubt, then the diet you feed your cat is the likely culprit.
Whatever it claims on the packet, it is almost certain that every single packet of commercial cat food will contain some form of chemical additive.
It may be to colour, flavour, create the right texture, to preserve, to create the 'right' odour, to stimulate your cat's appetite, etc.
You may be aware of the chemicals allowed in food which contribute to children's bad behaviour.
Take the child off the foods that have been found to be the cause and the aggression disappears.
Yet these chemicals have been passed as 'safe'.
There are little, if any, such standards in pet food.
So you may be able to imagine what goes into commercial cat food.
Anything.
And everything.
All the chemicals mentioned above can cause aggression in the animals who are fed this.
When you switch to feeding your cat a nutritious cat food, you'll find that the aggression may completely disappear.
At worst, it will improve dramatically.
