Reasons Why Cats Hiss And Growl:
Reason 1: Fearful And/Or Angry With Other Cat's Presence
If not properly introduced, cats have a tendency to not get along. This does not mean they will ignore each other as polite humans might, but most likely will end up in a hissing match.

It is possible for the cats to begin fighting as well if the warning of hisses and growls is not listened to. A cat might be scared of a newcomer, and will turn to hissing and growling at the new cat as a warning to get out of their space.


Social behavior sets in early, especially for felines. A cat who has had little to no socialization with other cats will have a very hard time adjusting to a new housemate.

Imagine an elderly human who has lived alone their whole life, only to be told that now they will share all of their home with a stranger. Or an only child who suddenly has an adopted sibling.

This would be difficult for anyone. This is why it is extremely important to socialize cats as young as possible, since after the kitten stage, their manners and habits toward others are usually set for the rest of a cat's life.
