I am taking care of my mother's cat becuase she was pregnant and she just had her babies Thurs. night. Gabbie is a very sweet cat, loves people, and has always been good since she was a kitten. The kittens are in the closet of my bedroom. I walked in there and poured her some more food, she walked out and started eating and I pet her just a couple times, 2 or 3, and then she attacked me! jumped at my face and then chased me out the door attacking my leg. My husband went in just to investigate (I know he shouldn't have) and he was petting her, she was purring and then jumped up and bit his face! I assume it's cause she's being protective but this is her 3rd litter, she knows both of us, we're not bothering her kittens at all, and she's in our bedroom! I don't want to wake up to a cat attack! Every vet in the area is closed - even cat hospitals - I can't get ahold of anyone. Can this be a sign of distemper? Rabis? or is it really just protective behavior?
