Animal behavior.

Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association·1993

Redirected aggression in cats, often triggered by external stimuli like other animals, can be managed by avoiding triggers. Careful management offers a favorable outcome for this common feline behavior problem.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Behavior
  • Animal Behavior

Background:

  • Redirected aggression in cats is a poorly documented behavioral issue.
  • It is often misdiagnosed as idiopathic aggression or other behavioral abnormalities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the characteristics and management of redirected aggression in cats.
  • To identify common arousing stimuli and evaluate management strategies.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective study of 27 cases of cat aggression toward people.
  • Behavioral histories were analyzed to identify triggers for aggression.
  • Management involved avoiding or eliminating identified stimuli and client education.

Main Results:

  • 14 of 27 cases were diagnosed with redirected aggression.

  • The most common trigger was the presence of another cat.
  • Management led to improvement in 9 out of 12 cats with follow-up data.

    • Conclusions:

    • Redirected aggression in cats is a distinct behavioral syndrome.
    • Identifying and managing arousing stimuli is key to successful treatment.
    • Despite its severity, favorable outcomes are possible with appropriate intervention.
