How to handle an aggressive cat?

This is a question I have seen many ask. There are many reasons why your cat is aggressive. It might be that they do not like their environment, they are not being fed enough food, among others.
This aggressiveness can be seen in them clawing at everything, even their owners.

How can these cats be handled?

Aggressive cats are not my thing. I'll probably just auction it off on eBay if I have had enough.
I've not really had experience with an aggressive cat before, but I think the best thing is to give it more food?

I have never had such experience with my cats. All of them are the cool and gentle types, in fact it baffles me when I hear that some cats hurt their owners. I cannot relate.

Handle? I do not try to, I just eave them and wait patiently for the mood to be better.

I don't have aggressive cat but I have seen one. She was ever ready to fight anybody that comes closer to her. I get to know later that she was just pregnant and the hormones was taking toil on her.

It depends on a lot of things that's going to be what makes the cat to be aggressive. If it's a stray, they are naturally aggressive because of their situation. When shown love and care, with time, they will become calm.

That's true. I haven't seen a stray cat or dog that are calm. They are always ready to fight and tear their enemies into pieces. But when love and affection are shown, aggressiveness will disappear.

I must admit that I don't do so well when it comes to cats that are very aggressive. It makes it so difficult for me to be comfortable around them. My mother had one and I couldn't stay home for too long with the cat around.
