My cat a female white nearly a year old, is becoming really viscious snarling spitting trying to bite visitors to the house, she is fine and gentle with my dad and I who see her most.

tonight she was unbearable, and we have had to put her in the garage as there are 3 young children staying here tonight and I am worried.

Has something changed in her life to suddenly make her react this way?

try Felliway plug in - its meant to calm them down. I myself have used it but i have a multicat household nd it didnt work but i have heard wonderful stories about it working

Has she been spayed?

she hasnt been spayed, but she is booked in this monday. I don't think she is in pain as she is fine now with just my dad and me here, but to make sure she is seeing the vet and I have asked his advice. will look into the electronic device thing.

welcome some more ideas.

had her since she was a young kitten in September

Has she had any really bad expereinces with visitors?

The moggie who adopted us is fine with males - my sons could stroke her, but (up until very recently) just did not like females and would claw and run.

She sounds very much like my cat who we had also had from a kitten, she calmed down a great deal after being spayed.

would i be right in thinking by electronic device thing you mean the felliway plug in device-as if you do it is a plug in like an airfreshenerIf i'm wrong Mikki apologies-it just made me chuckle but good luck with her and stay patient-you'll find a solution and one not involving any electronic devices
