Hello! I am new here and have been searching the posts and haven't found anything similar. I am hoping someone can help. My cat Pumpkin, who is about 9 is normally a calm cat and loves me and my husband. Not a fan of my two kids, but she just leaves them alone and they leave her alone. Yesterday she came around the corner and really became super defensive, growling, hissing, hackles up....all of it towards my daughter. My daughter had just come inside and was changing her shoes and had done nothing else. My daughter went back outside and the cat calmed down. I had figured she picked up the smell of the friends dog and for some reason it really bothered the cat. (we have 3 dogs too and also foster adoptable dogs but this was the best explanation I had). A little later my husband walked near her and she did the same thing to him, not attacking, but very very scared and defensive. Loud shrieking and growling. We got her to the basement and figured she would rest overnight and be ok. I went down later and held her and she purred and was normal. Then this morning, the same thing again. Each time she does this she is peeing all over the place while she seems to be protecting herself from us? She is an indoor cat too.
