How to handle a cat that suddenly attacks you
Act calmly.
Reacting strongly can increase the cat's stress and interest in attacking you. It may even make the cat's prey instinct kick in more, spurring it on to bite down harder.

Available options:
* When you see your cat in distress, your brain sends a message saying, " calm down. " don't react immediately and jump to your cat's defense, your instinct is trying to tell you to save your cat.;
* Instead, stop moving and reacting to the cat. This will take away all the fun the cat gets from the attack.;
* You should also keep your front leg straight and try not to back-jump or roll to the side, as this will only cause you more stress. Stay calm, but don't run up to the cat, as this may cause it to bite you.;
* If you're calm, the cat will begin to stop attacking you. If the cat snaps at you, think that you might be imagining being bitten.;
