You cannot train a cat to be aggressive; it is not in their nature. Training your cat to be assertive and confident around other animals can help discourage unwanted interactions while still keeping them friendly and loving. Teaching basic commands like “leave it” and “off” can also help keep them from being overly curious around other animals. It is important that you remain assertive but not physical with the other animal, as cats may escalate in fear if they feel threatened or threatened physically by another creature. Positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats and praise, are more likely to succeed than attempts at negative reinforcement or punishment.

It is generally not recommended to try and train a cat to be aggressive towards other animals. Training cats can be difficult as they learn behaviors through positive reinforcement and tend to avoid conflict. To try and instill a more confrontational behavior you could create scenarios where your cat interacts with another animal, such as in a safe environment like an exercise room or playpen, then encourage roughhousing or play-fighting between the two animals. It may also help to raise the energy level by using sounds or gestures to excite your cat before introducing it to the other animal. Additionally, providing an outlet for your cat's natural predatory instincts by playing with feathers or mimicking prey might increase its hunting response if presented with another animal. Of course, this is not guaranteed and training cats is challenging so seek professional advice if necessary.
