may be because your own security is threatened, so you can protect yourself in this way. Secondly, if a cat has the habit of protecting food, it will suddenly go crazy when there is a threat. This situation usually occurs in multiple cats, especially when new cats are added. In addition, if a cat carries rabies virus, it will become crazy due to external stimulation. It may also be accompanied by symptoms such as salivation, fear of light, and water. You need to consult a pet doctor in time.

1. Safety is threatened

Cats are more sensitive to the outside world. If other animals or humans pose a threat to their own safety, they will suddenly become irritable and crazy. At this time, the owner must pay attention to keeping a distance from the cat to avoid being accidentally injured by the cat. Wait until the cat is calm.

2. Food protection

If a cat has the habit of food protection, it will suddenly go crazy when there is a threat, such as other cats snatching its food, other strangers around, etc. If the cat is only targeting the same type of food-protecting behavior, the owner can let the cat eat separately. If a cat also shows food protection for people, it is necessary to undergo desensitization training while it is small, otherwise the cat may bite people as it grows.

3. Rabies

If a cat carries rabies virus, it will also become crazy due to external stimulation. The early symptoms are not obvious, which may be accompanied by behavioral changes, such as hiding, escaping, suddenly biting, etc., which will develop into drooling, unconscious screaming, not knowing the owner, and increasing aggressiveness. It is recommended that the owner isolate the cat in time when he finds that the cat has the above situation to prevent being scratched or bitten by the cat, and consult a pet doctor to determine whether the cat is infected with rabies.
