Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Sherile. This is very serious if she is attacking people. You should contact your veterinarian and discuss everything that is going on. One thing to do immediately is to spay her if you aren't going to breed her. I would advise against breeding her due to her aggressive behavior. That could be passed to her kittens. Your vet can take a detailed history, explore the situations of the attacks, and perform a physical examination. They may advise some blood/urine tests and x-rays to make sure that she doesn't have a medical problem causing this behavior. Once a medical problem is ruled out, your vet can discuss behavior modification and drug therapy to help discourage these attacks. Again this is important and serious. Please seek professional help immediately for her.
