Answer by kate
this is an impossible question to answer i'm afraid. cats react to so many little things that i couldn't say for definate what caused it. Did someone put on a strong perfume? By cat nevber butes, ever but if she get a whiff of perfume she will go mad and attack.
Keep an eye on your cat and see if there are any other symptoms which may need medical treatment.

I would check to see if the cat has a sore. It could be that this is protection for itself. Just like the mother cat will try and protect it's babies.

Could be a number of reasons.....mine used to go crazy if there was a animal outside the window.(any kind) and if I was near direct that aggression toward me (who he loves) Now I ignore him if a unexpected visitor comes to window and we are fine. Also could be medical....best to check out.
