Hi there...if this has been a recent change, cats who are not feeling well will become cranky/aggressive. If this has been a behaviour which has occurred for a long time, it may be part of the personality of the cat. There are short-term treatments for cats who have behavioral aggression that your veterinarian can provide.
If your male cat is attacking your female cat, it is important to separate them to prevent further harm. Consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist to address the underlying cause of the aggression and develop a plan to reintroduce them safely.

To prevent a cat from attacking you, avoid sudden movements, give the cat space, and use calming techniques like slow blinking or offering treats. It's important to respect the cat's boundaries and body language to avoid provoking aggression.
Disciplining a cat for attacking involves redirecting their behavior, using positive reinforcement, and providing appropriate outlets for their energy and instincts. Avoid physical punishment and instead focus on training and providing a stimulating environment for your cat.
A male cat may attack a female cat due to territorial behavior, mating instincts, or aggression.
Cats are not as domesticated as dogs. The technical term for a wild cat is 'feral' (ie. born in the wild). They will attack because the are predators. If your cat is attacking you without provocation then it is showing signs of being feral.
There could be several reasons why your cat is attacking you. It could be due to fear, stress, playfulness, or feeling threatened. It's important to observe your cat's behavior and consult with a veterinarian or animal behaviorist for guidance on how to address this issue.
