My cat viciously attacked my mom and I. I'm 15, and have no idea what to do. I've raised her since she was a kitten. I couldn't tell what it was when i was attacked and I was screaming because I thought another animal was attacking her (because she was hissing and growling so much) So safe to say, it was way out of the ordinary. She is about two years old, indoor cat, but was never fixed or anything which idk if that could have a part in this, but she's never been outside.
What happened was my mom was outside, and walked back in just to be attacked by her. I was taking a nap so I just automatically woke up to my mom screaming, and I didn't know what was happening. It was really dark and I honestly thought it was a possum and that's why I freaked out. When she saw me starting get up, she ran on me and attacked me so bad there was blood everywhere and I immediately covered my eyes. I was so shaken I couldn't move, I couldn't hear what my mom was telling me and I just began to scream and cry for my cat because I didn't know what was happening. She went back and forth on each of us attacking. My mom finally told me to stop, and relax, maybe we were scaring her. That's when I realized it was my cat attacking us. So we relaxed and froze. my cat did the same. She looked at me when I uncovered my face and just meowed at me. Like nothing happened. We didn't think of putting her somewhere because we were covered in blood. As we cleaned up ourselves in the bathroom, our cat nalah was meowing, and meowing, like she wanted something. She tried to get on my lap and I flinched because I was scared of her. And then she hissed at me. (Keep in mind I was still, I read something on body posture and I kept still) And then calmed down and meowed again. Then hissed again, like something was taking over her. It was literally like she had rabies (which there is no possible way) So my mom locked her in the other room. I gave her food and water. Shes been in there since 7 am and we haven't let her out. My mom doesn't trust her at all, and says after that she doesn't want us to keep her. My mom has teeth marks in her skin, and I have scratch marks covering my whole body. She got my hand so bad to where I can hardly move it. We ended up going to the hospital. I don't understand. It was a normal day. That exact morning she was laying on my chest and I was petting her. While we were both half a sleep. But right now I'm so frightened of her I can't even look at her. I tried earlier today to check up on her and she just meowed at me. I thought she might be really sick or something was wrong but I don't know what to do, I'm scared to get close. Can someone please help or give me advice? If there's some way I can help her or anything I will. I love her and feel like we do have a bond because shes always by my side and some days when I come home and cry she nudges her head against my hand, like she understands. It breaks my heart to see her paws from under my door trying to come out. If anyone has been in a similar situation or knows what i should do please please help. I can't have her anymore, but I want to know what the right thing to do is here
