Aggression
built 647 days ago
Aggression is a complex social behavior, and it ... can signal another clinically defined condition, such as bipolar disorder or post-traumatic stress disorder. Researchers place most aggression by individuals into one of three general categories: predatory aggression against other species, social aggression against the same species, and defensive aggression in response to a threat. The latter two categories are the ones behind many of the headlines.

Aggression is not a male prerogative. It ... occurs in females, particularly when they need to defend their young. For example, lactating rats are highly aggressive to intruding males (rather than females). In this context, different hormones may play a role. This aggressive reaction seems to depend upon suckling, and has the obvious biological function of protecting the young. Testosterone given to lactating females actually reduces their aggressive reaction to males.

For pets with a chronic problem, PetAlive Aggression Formula should be administered daily. Those with a more acute problem may use the remedy as needed. If it is difficult to approach your pet for fear of attack, the granules may be sprinkled in a favorite treat.

Defensive Aggression: Defensive aggression occurs when a cat is attempting to protect himself from an attack he believes he cannot escape. This can occur in response to punishment or the threat of punishment from a person, an attack or attempted attack from another cat, or any incident that makes the animal feel threatened or afraid. Defensive postures include crouching with the legs pulled in under the body, laying the ears back, tucking the tail, and rolling slightly to the side. These responses are not the same as the submissive postures dogs show because they're not intended to "turn off" an attack from another cat. Continuing to approach a cat in this posture is likely to precipitate an attack.

Aggression is probably involved in more human problems than any other need. Inability to assert aggression effectively can result in feelings of impotence, passivity, helplessness, and dependency. Such feelings can cause anxiety and depression. Non-aggressive people become vulnerable to exploitation and bullying by aggressive people. Overly aggressive people, or those who are inappropriately aggressive, arouse fear and counter-aggression in others and this tends to destroy or impair personal relationships. Social aggression (e.g., murder, theft, rape) is punished by social alienation, fines, imprisonment, and in some societies death.
