They will be frightened and their response mechanism will go
off. Most cats will find and escape route, but sometimes there
is none and a cat will be have been triggered to have this type
of aggression.

Sudden movements, sounds, imaginary threats, are some of the
ways that fear aggression a cat will have. Timid cats can be big
aggressors as the fear is real for them even if the threat is
not real. Experiences with fear will also play in with the fear.
Fear aggression is a natural reaction for a cat especially
physical punishment, which is a big threat to a cat. That is the
most fearful thing a cat will react with real aggression. In
addition, your cat will not want to have nothing to do with you.
Physical punishment on your cat or any cat should never take
place.

the cat immediately to let him know that he has nothing to fear.

you need to be watching if you feel that the aggression is not
one that you can see or point out. Taking the cat to the vet and

over petting or hard petting can be painful for your cat. Some
cats will become fell threaten or over stimulated with petting.
Some of this fear can come from past socializing with people.

When the cat starts with the aggressions, start with speaking
soft and gentle to the cat, this will help with the fear of the
cat under control. If the cat has a hold of you with the teeth,
gentle stroke the tips of this paws and then the toenails until
he releases. Never try to open the paws, as this will cause pain
to the cat. Not staying calm at this point will only lead your
cat to fear you more with the sudden movements and loud noise.
Do not pull away quickly after the attack; continue with the
activity with the cat so that he will know that you are not
there to hurt him.
