Random aggressive behavior can sometimes indicate pain or an underlying health issue so a good first step would be to schedule a vet visit for Espn. It is also getting to summertime in the US, and if she is unspayed her hormones could be getting her ready to go into heat and thus changing her behavior as well. Spaying can help this. If she checks out healthy, then looking for signs of stress around the house such as other pets, new people, etc can help you pinpoint any triggers setting off her behavior. A calming pheromone collar or plug in can also help reduce stress in addition to making sure she has access to food, water, litter and bedding without being bothered by pets or people. If the behavior continues even with a health check and changes, then seeking out a trainer or veterinary behaviorist in your area is a good next step as they can help formulate a more tailored treatment and training plan.
