Although cats are a social species and capable of living together in groups of several cats, intercat aggression is a common behavioral problem. Intercat aggression can be classified as status-related, fear- related, play-related, redirected and can also be due to the addition of a new cat to an existing group. Socialization of kittens, choice of the right cat for a multicat household, and the gradual introduction of a new cat to the household can help to prevent intercat aggression. Treatment of intercat aggression should combine behavior modification, management and - if necessary - medication.
尽管猫是群居性物种,能够几只猫一起生活,但猫之间的攻击行为是一个常见的行为问题。猫之间的攻击行为可分为与地位相关、与恐惧相关、与玩耍相关、转移攻击,也可能是由于向现有猫群中引入了新猫。小猫的社会化、为多猫家庭选择合适的猫,以及将新猫逐步引入家庭有助于预防猫之间的攻击行为。猫之间攻击行为的治疗应结合行为矫正、管理,以及必要时的药物治疗。
