Cat: Aggression toward people
Aggression is the most serious behavioral issue in cats and is more common than one may
think. It’s a symptom of an underlying problem, and it always needs to be taken seriously.

Cats who seem to eat better when they have human company are called “affection eaters.” Sometimes they just want someone to sit with them while they eat, while others enjoy being pet or need even further encouragement to eat such as having food brought close to them, hearing their kibble dish rattle, or even being spoon fed.
Any kitten between the ages of 3 weeks and 7 weeks with a lack of positive interactions with
humans is likely to be scared of people.
Fear is common and a perfectly normal, innate, and adaptive behavior in all animals. However, if fear isn’t addressed, it can develop into serious behavioral and health problems, so if your cat is showing fear or shyness you should always deal with it proactively.
