An analysis of incidents caused by captive cats in the world during 1990-2006period on the basis of web database. On the basis of Internet database the incidents with captive cats were analysed. During 1990-2006 period 289 cases were recorded which resulted in 322 human victims in nearly 40 countries with the overrepresentation of USA. The incidents were caused by individuals of 14 wild cat species, but the effect of tiger (Pan- thera tigris) also as a number of fatal incidents was greatest of all. Incidents were recorded in all places where captive cats were kept: zoos, circuses, private estates, breeding centres, movie industry facilities etc. It seems that the main causes of cats aggression towards man was inproper human behaviour, too close approaching or entering cage which had effect on animal territorial behaviour. These findings to the great degree confirmed previously obtained by the authors.
