Understanding Hissing
It’s common knowledge that when a cat starts hissing, it’s a clear signal to back off. For those who may not know, cats indeed hiss when angered, scared, or anxious. If a cat perceives you, another person, or an animal as a threat, it may begin hissing as a defensive mechanism.
So, what should you do if you find yourself in such a situation? Maintain a safe distance and give the cat some space to calm down. In time, its anger or anxiety will dissipate, and you can approach it without fear.
