Answer: amygdala

Step-by-step explanation:

The limbic system, refers to the set of brain structures that's located on the sides of the thalamus. The function of the limbic system include olfaction, behavior, emotion, and long-term memory.

Since the cat suddenly jumps and acts as if it is fighting, the portion of the limbic system that was stimulated is the amygdala.
