Things You'll Need
- Long-sleeved shirt

Instructions
Take your cat to a veterinarian to determine if it has any health problems. Your cat may be angry because it isn't feeling well, either because of an injury or because of an illness.
Put on a long-sleeved shirt and gloves to protect your arms and hands from the cat's claws. Use a wand and a feather to play with the cat. Prance around to initiate the predator in your cat, otherwise the animal might not chase the feather.
Play with the cat two times per day for 10 minutes each day. If the cat goes for your hand instead of a toy, stop playing and ignore the cat. Toys and games will instill a sense of playfulness instead of aggressiveness, but your cat needs to know how to play.
Avoid petting the cat's stomach. This is the most vulnerable area of the animal and can lead to a vicious attack. Some cats will lay on their back, giving the appearance that they want you to pet them -- in fact, they do not want to be pet there.
Leave the cat alone. Many cats become angry when they are constantly being harassed. Give the animal some space and allow it to interact with you when you feel like.
