@turtlegirl just riding it out and not getting within striking distance of her claws 
My cat growing up was very territorial and depending on which animal outside triggered her it would range from a few hours to still being aggressive towards us the next day (she’d be up patrolling the windows off and on all night). Once she went after my mom and sliced her ankle up badly, where she was normally a very cuddly cat with us.
A calming diffuser or spray can help a bit too but otherwise just time 
Thanks for the article. Yeah… i did what the article says not to do! I tried to talk nicely to her and calm her down last night which probably made her angrier. I feel bad in hindsight for adding to her stress but I didn’t know what to do. Shutting myself in the bathroom this morning did seem to shorten the time. This is the first time it’s happened so now I’m better prepared if it happens again. Hopefully we’re done though!
I’ve also been learning about all the things I’ve done with Lil Bug and her shyness that I wasn’t supposed to do!
That sounds so intense! I hope she calms down soon.
I think I will get some calming spray. Does anyone else use it? It will help for going to the vet anyway.
Of the cats I’ve had, it didn’t seem to make a difference for two of them, but for the other two it worked really well.
I’ve used the diffusers. I’ve heard that those work better than the calming spray for home, since you only spray the area and not the cat!
What I see is to be sprayed in the room or like in their carrier or whatever, says not to spray the cat.
I could see that starting a whole new round of hissing!
I hope they work! I need to get some of those too.
FYI I was advised diffuser for a room but spray for small enclosed areas, since you can’t really spray everything in the house.
Good luck!
What is the best way to dispose of an expired passport? Cut it up into little pieces like a credit card? We don’t have a shredder.
Do you have a current passport? I’m not sure if you need to / it helps to send in the old one, even if it is expired.
I’ve always just kept mine. In all the decluttering and getting rid of stuff I’ve been doing lately, getting rid of old IDs didn’t occur to me. Huh.
Yes, I have a current one. I found the old one while cleaning out the waterproof/fireproof safe that we keep important stuff in, for hurricane prep. I had to renew in person because it was WAY expired. Did that in 2016-ish?
I’m home for lunch and she’s still unsure about me. 
she did hiss when she moved really close to me but then after a while she sat on the chair next to mine while I ate. I’m still just giving her space but it makes me sad because she’s always been a snugglebug.
I hope she’s back to her old self soon. This must be scary for her too.
She’s on my lap, I’ll take it!
Yay! Hopefully a good pet n purr session will restore order to the world.
I keep all old passports, if the current one is ever lost or stolen then it can be really helpful to have an expired one to use as proof of citizenship if needed
Has anyone made a turnip green pesto? What nut and cheese did you use? Did you blanch first? Was it any good? 
Thanks!
Hm, that is a good point. It is more than 20 years old though.
