Hello!
I have a 4-year-old cat called Boo who seems to get really aggressive if I try to head back indoors. She is an outdoor cat, and has not been spayed yet (The Vet is currently sick, and he's the only one I trust enough to give her the operation.) and I'm not sure what to do with her.
I haven't actually been scratched or bitten by her yet, but that's mainly because I could see that she was getting ready to spring on me and grabbed her by the scruff before going inch by inch indoors and locking the screen door behind me. Her eyes got real wide, her pupils dilated and the fur around her neck began to rise as I walked to the door to go inside, then she ran to the door and stood in my way and attempted to bite my feet. I gotta say, I was pretty surprised and I froze until she calmed down, but she got worked up all over again when I tried to go inside again. She's done this several times now, and it's really weird, because I each time I'd be petting her, then I'd get up, explain to her why I had to go, give her a goodbye pat, and then, when I get near the door, she goes batty.
Is it because she doesn't want me to leave her? She's still aggressive when I let her in, so I'm not sure if that's what's up with her.
How do I get her to stop this?

or use something to distract her. Such as putting down her food right before you get up to go inside.
