My 2 year old cat has bee lovely for the past 2 years. Happy, playful, very social. About 6 months ago, with no apparent trigger while my husband was scrubbing a dish, she attacked him. (All four claws and bit marks into his leg).
2nd time- He was cleaning a closet.
3rd-6th time- We were putting coats on, eating breakfast, sitting down talking etc.
With each "episode" our cat starts hissing and getting into attack position. We have had long periods of time waiting for her to calm down where we couldn't move. Its ridiculous. Each time, there have been no windows so there's no possibility that she's seen a bird or animal she can't catch. We haven't been around odd smells.
She has handled much more stressful situations with no panic attack. We are unsure what to do, and she gets VERY dangerous during these episodes which make it hard for us to grab her and put her in a room.
HELP! We've given her calming aids (Collars, pills, spray) but these episodes keep happening. We don't want to resort to giving her away. We raised her, and she's very sweet and cuddly otherwise.
