Aggressive behavior is often a normal reaction to a stressful social situation, such as the presence of an unfamiliar cat or unwanted attention from a human. Cats tend to avoid conflict as much as possible, but physical constraints or limited resources may force a cat into proximity of the concerning human or cat, triggering aggression. Learning can shape emotions and behavioral responses. Negative emotional associations between individuals result from aversive experiences, and aggressive behavior may be reinforced as the most effective tactic to end unwanted interactions.
