Cat's hiss when they're either really angry at a human or another animal. They could also hiss if they feel threatened by a human or another animal. Hissing is their way of showing their anger or their fright. Also, when cats are angry, their fur stands up. This happens normally in the tail but if they are reallyscared/angry they will arch their backs and all of their fur will stand up.
Further, this action is a "defensive" mechanism, intended to both warn another animal or human, and hopefully discourage them from further threatening, or harming the cat.
I read that they hiss because it is an instinctive response to predators, which originates from ferral cats in the wild. Ferral cats would encounter snakes, which posed a threat to them, and learned to mimick the hissing as a response to a threat.
