20 Discoveries You Make When You Get a Cat

6. Hissing and Growling:

 

When cats sense a threat or feel frightened, they often exhibit defensive behaviors such as hissing and growling. These warning signs indicate that your cat is uncomfortable and wishes to be left alone.

It’s essential to respect their boundaries during these moments. Instead of approaching, give your cat space and provide a secure area where it can retreat and feel safe. This allows your cat to regain its composure and reduces stress.
