Kitten/Cat question.?

Question

When does a kitten/cats learn to hiss? How do they learn how to hiss?

Answer 1

It is a defensive instinctive move that they are born with.

Answer 2

Well i guess that depends on the kitten. My friend has a cat that i don't think i ever heard her hiss, than my grandfather has a cat that hissed when he was just 8 weeks old. They will hiss when they are ready Lets face it it's a cat and cats are very in depended about every thing they do!! lol Good luck with the hissing

Answer 3

To your first question, my kitten hissed at me around the age of 7 months.

Answer 4

When kittens learn how to hiss is whenever they have a reason 2 and when their mom teaches them or if they don't have a mom it might learn if u teach it or another cat

Answer 5

Did anyone ever teach you to scream when in trouble or a dog to growl? Hissing is pretty much the same thing for cats. Natural response to fear.

Answer 6

I have seen kittens a few days old hiss or blow. It's so cute, their eyes weren't even open. It's just a natural defense thing they are born with.

Answer 7

Normally, kittens learn how to hiss when they start to recognize the dangers around them. When they are young, they're to wild to notice anything at all. I think that they have to expirience something frightening to get them to learn to protect themselves.

Answer 8

Thanks for altering people to this danger. Here in Cyprus there are a lot of stray and feral cats, and this summer alone on 3 occasions I've rescued kittens when I heard crying coming from parked cars. People can also beep their car horn or check under their bonnet before starting their engine.

Answer 9

I think it is instinctual. Haven't you ever seen a little kitten hiss and spit when they like a dog? It's actually really cute.

Answer 10

its an animal instinct
