I have an extraordinarily feisty and high tension cat. I don't know what the causes of your cat's fears are, but some of the things that help me calm down my little fighter are: Putting him in one of his favorite spots--on the bed pillows or the cat "chair" near the desk. Singing or humming lullabye-style songs to him Stroking him from his nose to the back of his head Curling up near him--near enough to touch but not smother--and just placing one hand near his head or paws so he has the scent of me and can touch if he needs to Acting normal, but low key. I don't run the vacuum, watch screaming Horror flicks or anything loud and I make sure my movements are abrupt or sudden, but if I am behaving normally--e.g., fixing dinner, playing on the computer, etc.--it seems to reassure him his life is normal too. If I get upset or, worse, anxious with him because he's acting upset, it just makes him worse. Hope that helps.

when they get to their aggressive state , you simply have to get out of their way and let them be alone until they are calm, be vary careful with an aggressive cat , they can bite and and scratch you really badly and you can get a serious injury , and infection.

First, go to the cat and hold onto the extra skin on its neck and hold the cat by its chest and keep the cat on the ground until it is calm.

Answer:

The above answer is NOT how you treat a cat. Forcefully holding a cat down in such a way will make the cat aggressive or scared. This method should never be used for punishment (the cat will not understand why it is being held down), or for making it do anything.

If a cat is being too active and rowdy, the most effective method is to ignore the cat, or to remove him by putting him in another, quiet room for a while. Cats do not like to be ignored and will soon learn that that doing certain actions will get it ignored. Most cats will calm down if placed in a quiet place.

Another way of trying to calm a cat down is to tone down the play until it is at a gentle pace, or if the cat is particularly active at night, feed it its last meal just before you go to bed. A cat will not want to play on a full stomach and will often settle down.

You can calm down a cat by petting it softly, gently brushing his/her fur, laying it down for a nap or giving it a treat for work well done.

Speaking to them in a soothing voice, and gentle petting is good.

Offering them catnip or cat treats may help as well, depending on the situation.

If you can mimic a purring sound then that can help too.

Most people can make a cat relax by stroking it's fur softly. If a cat sit's on your lap willingly, it most likely enjoys you'r company. Remember, cats are animals , and they need love and care. DO NOT BUY A CAT WITHOUT DOING YOU'R HOMEWORK!

These are two different questions. I assume by 'crazy', you mean aggressive or violent. It's really best to give a violent cat plenty of space and let them calm down on their own. There are a few methods of restraining cats- but I do not recommend attempting them without professional help.

Food and treats.

Whenever my cat freaks out, food always helps him calm down. Also isolating it into one room away from loud noises and keeping quiet.
