What cats are too aggressive: breeds that can become dangerous

When choosing a pet, you should focus on the characteristics of the breed. Mekong Bobtails and Ragdolls, for example, are very sociable and contactable, they get attached to their owners and love affection. Chaus and Savannahs, on the other hand, can be aggressive if you touch them when they don't want to.

Continuing the topic of "untamed" cats, it should be noted that owners often perceive excessive playfulness as a manifestation of aggression - the pet may suddenly "attack" your legs, start scratching or biting. OBOZREVATEL figured out which breeds are prone to such games and why a cat's behaviour can suddenly become aggressive.

Bengal cat

The Bengal cat inherited its wayward character from a wild ancestor because this breed was bred as a result of crossbreeding. Veterinarians say that the current generations can already be called quite domesticated, but often the "hunting" instincts of Bengals take their toll.

Pixie-bob

Pixie-bobs show their displeasure by hissing and even growling, which is a bit like a dog. The reason is that Pixies are genetically related to wild lynxes. Representatives of this breed are not very fond of strangers and can be aggressive.

Egyptian Mau

Egyptian Mau are very sophisticated, obedient, and easy to train. They can even learn some commands. But Mau's play is peculiar - they like to rush to the owner's feet and bite whenever they need to.

Singapura cat

These are miniature cats, but they can bite and scratch like wild animals. It is interesting that most breeds "calm down" and lose their hyperactivity with age - but not the Singapura.

Kimrik

These cats do not have a tail but have a very well-developed hindquarters, so they love to jump and explore heights. They are active, curious, playful, but very naughty and restless.

Korat

The Korat is a rare breed, and if you buy an animal from an unverified breeder, you can get a pet with a wayward character. Korat also has the instincts of wild predators and can be aggressive.

Siamese cat

Siamese cats are very jealous. They are active, independent, take a long time to get used to their owners, and are too demanding of everything. They will not allow you to touch them when they don't want to and can scratch painfully.

Bombay cat

Bombay cats also have character traits inherited from distant wild ancestors. They can show great strength during games.
