Best Answer

When two evenly matched, well armed animals fight, there is a danger that both may be injured. Therefore many such animals have developed a series of ritual postures and sounds that show off their size and intent for aggression before the physical battle starts. Hopefully during this display a weaker animal will recognise the strength of the other and flee before any fight starts.

They hiss when they are angry or uncomfortable. The reason they purr is because of the vibration in their body and the sound that moves throughout. So don't worry, if your cat purrs its normal ;)

hope this helped ;)

A cat makes hissing noises indicating that it is unhappy about something. If one approach it when it is unhappy, he/she may be bitten by it. Therefore, be noticed when a cat hisses.

Why do cats spit?

Cats normally do not hiss or spit unless they feel highly threatened. Much of the sounds you hear during a cat fight are intended to make the other cat scared enough to back down and go away. Cats fight much more through making sounds than by physical attacks.
