Why is your cat so scary?

Answer 1

Cats have very sharp claws and, unless tamed, will use them to defend territory - in domestic situations, this means "anything the cat has marked".

Further, there's a great deal of unfavorable mythology surrounding cats, such as the supernatural ability to "steal breath" from babies. cause bad luck. or summon storms with their tails.

Generally, housecats are harmless to humans, but the combination of superstition and aggressive behavior may cause irrational fear of them.

Answer 2

Cats are prey as often as they are predators. They instinctively run from large things that are charging towards them. If you run towards the cat, he will bolt.

Cats have long memories. Have you ever acted like you were going to attack the cat? Run towards it? Looked like you were going to throw something at it? Have you ever tried to trap the cat? If so, it may be reacting to the way you acted then, rather than the way you act now.

One thing you can do that may help is to act submissive in cat terms. The cat will stare at you from a distance when he enters the room. Stare back, for long enough that he knows you're looking at him, then look away. You have just lost the staring contest and so he's a better cat than you; that may make him more willing to approach you. Let him approach, wait for him to come to you; don't go to him. And be patient; it can take repeated sessions over as long as six months for a cat to gentle enough to allow you to approach him.

Answer 3

Well, that is quite insulting. Perhaps you can stop being rude to my species. Maybe it's our eyes, they're big and reflect the light around us. The reflecting is like a mirror and allows us to see in the dark. Perhaps it's our natural born predatory instincts that scare you. It isn't our fault, we're very closely related to lions and tigers. You're probably just jealous that us cats are taking over the internet. Us cats are serious about our territory, which may make us creepy, but atleast we are cute and adorable also. Humans are creepy too, okay. Like murders and robbers, criminals of all sorts. We don't have any criminal cats, therefore you're creepy too.

Answer 4

Usually if your cat is acting like that it means something in your house is scaring it. It might be a ghost or a unusual substance in your home.
