Domestic cats are generally not aggressive creatures. For manifestations of aggression, we often perceive excessive playfulness and active manifestations of the animal’s hunting instincts – fluffy can suddenly attack his legs, start scratching or biting. This behavior is normal for a cat. However, knowing which breeds are prone to such manifestations is still worth it if you plan to have a purr.
Edition Pet Keen has compiled a list of breeds that are most prone to manifestations of their predatory nature. They may compete with you for territory or play carelessly.
Siamese cat
Siamese cats are known to be among the most aggressive and territorial. If you have other animals, it is important to understand that Siamese cats are very jealous and take a long time to get used to them. Siamese cats are very demanding, so if they feel they are not getting enough attention from their owners, they may demand it by force.
Sphinx
Sphynxes are very active cats that need a lot of time to play. This is combined with their high level of intelligence. On the one hand, you can take advantage of this to teach them to bring the ball or similar fun. On the other hand, out of boredom, they can start playing predatory games with you. Therefore, either entertain the sphinx sufficiently, or put up with its temperament.
bombay cat
These are fearless and athletic creatures that have adopted many traits from their wild ancestors. Therefore, during the games they can show great strength. Fortunately, these cats are not large, because with such an ability to put all their power into one paw strike, they could cause significant injuries to their owners. Like the Siamese cat and the Sphynx, the Bombay cat requires a lot of attention and can become aggressive when it is lacking.
bengal cat
This breed was obtained from crossing with a wild Bengal cat. She inherited a wild temper. Only the fourth generation can be called fully domesticated. However, even they can develop behavioral problems such as marking territory or extreme aggression during play. Bengals require more exercise and attention than the average cat. So if you are looking for a quiet and comfortable companion, this breed is definitely not for you.
Scottish lop-eared
This breed is known for its kindness, making it an excellent choice for families with children and other animals. But the Scots are capable of showing great impudence if they are not given enough attention. If you leave such a cat for a long time by itself, he may begin to behave aggressively and carelessly play with his people.
pixiebob
Very outgoing and self-confident, the breed is known for its propensity for vocalizations. And this is no ordinary meow. Pixiebobs growl and chirp with their people, which a person unfamiliar with the breed may mistake for a display of aggression. Due to the genetic connection with the traits, these cats are large in size and have a strong body. If they fight, they will throw with all their weight, which can push people away from this wonderful breed.
egyptian mau
These creatures are graceful on the outside, but also balanced, smart and obedient – almost like dogs in a cat’s body. Egyptian Mau are meek and friendly, they are also trained. But the downside of their high intelligence is their tendency to throw themselves on their feet and other parts of the body when they are bored.
American wirehaired cat
This breed is an ideal compromise between an affectionate cat, not very demanding, but at the same time very active, albeit within certain limits that it does not go beyond. These cats are good at entertaining themselves on their own, but if left on their own for too long, they can start destroying your furniture out of boredom and also become aggressive when playing with people.
Korat
This is a rare breed that costs a lot of money, and can have genetic abnormalities if you buy an animal from an unverified breeder. If everything is fine with the cat, the korat will seek constant human attention and demand to play with him. He will achieve his goal by forceful methods of a wild predator, which can be quite unpleasant.
singapore cat
This is a miniature breed, so it will not be able to cause significant damage to a person. But this does not mean that Singapore will not play with you like a real wild beast. These cats love to explore space and climb to all available heights. Also, out of boredom, they may start using vocalizations. Most cat breeds tend to lose their hyperactive playfulness as they emerge from childhood, but not the Singapura.
Cymrick
The medium-sized, muscular breed requires appropriate entertainment. Although they don’t have a tail, they have a very developed hindquarters, which makes them great jumpers. Their natural strength, combined with their active and inquisitive nature, means that some owners find Cymrik too difficult to keep.
