   This can result in your cat becoming frightened or aggressive.
   
   For example, you should never pull a hiding cat out from under the bed so a cat-loving visitor can pet it., You should let your cat decide when and how it will interact with other animals.
   
   You shouldn’t force your cat to interact with other pets in the household.
   
   Doing so is a violation of your cat’s personal space., Signs your cat may need more personal space include hiding, competition with other cats for food or space, or aggressive behaviors toward humans or other animals.
