Medical Issues:
Consider how underlying medical conditions, such as pain, discomfort, or illness, can cause cats to exhibit aggressive behaviors, including slapping.
Personality Differences:
Recognize that each cat has a distinct personality, and some individuals may be more prone to slapping behaviors due to their temperament or past experiences.
Reinforcing Social Bonds: Sometimes, cats may engage in gentle slapping during grooming sessions. This behavior can help reinforce social bonds within the group and is a sign of trust and affection.
Communication: Cats use body language and vocalizations to communicate with each other. Slapping can convey various messages, including “back off,” “stop that,” or “I’m in charge.”
