My cat is around 4 years old, female (Layla). She lives in my house with my girlfriend and myself, another small cat (Bella), and a year old puppy. Layla has always been a little sassy but in the past 6 months, it's become a serious problem. One minute she's rubbing and purring on me, the next minute she will scream (the best description), her eyes get totally black and she attacks whatever is near her, usually me. Bella and the puppy then try to keep her off me, and it becomes a whole thing. Layla is double Bella's size and I'm worried she is going to hurt her or the puppy, or myself. She continues to scream and lash out, so I try to put her in her crate to get her away from the animals. She attacks me when I do so, her bites and scratches feel like she isn't holding back at all, like she's fighting for her life. I got bird handling elbow length gloves to protect myself when I handle her into her crate, but sometimes it isn't enough. When I approach her, she urinates everywhere and poops a lot, everywhere. She has never had an accident before this. I am not sure what else to do. She will cuddle me during the night after an episode of this, like usual. it is like a switch flips from my normal sweet cat, to a wild animal. She is up to date on vaccines and boosters, her blood was tested in 2019, for a variety of things I guess, it all came back normal. A few months ago, she was seen by a vet and her said her kidneys felt fine as well. He did not have any insight on the problem, just gave me meds to calm her down. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
