A cat arches its back and hisses when alarmed or frightened. In most cases it does not want to attack the enemy. It pulls itself up and hisses to make itself look bigger and more menacing. The enemy is startled by this sudden action. That is when the cat makes its escape.
Hissing is the cat's way of threatening enemies or warning its kittens. This sends the kittens scurrying back to their nest.
Many animals use similar techniques to frighten off their enemies: Dogs, lizards, birds and even rabbits.
