Redirecting aggression among cats; among human beings


"Redirected aggression occurs when a cat is aroused into an aggressive response by one 
person or animal, but then redirects this aggression onto another person or animal. For 
example, if two family cats have a spat, the losing cat, still aroused, may walk up and 
attack the family child."

Human beings are no so different from animals (cats, dogs...) in this respect.

A lesson-in-the-making from the YMCA, clarified by reading an online article from the Humane Society of King County:
