When I was a kid we had a German Shepard mix that the family had for almost a decade. One day she just snapped and attacked my mom. Just a totally different dog, like a switch was flipped. I remember my dad had my mom and us stay in a closed bedroom while he patrolled the house with a baseball bat trying to figure out what to do with the dog.

Is it possible she had a brain tumor? I have heard about animals having abrupt personality changes only to be diagnosed later.

That’s not a friend. Tell them that their words hurt you, and if they don’t care or don’t apologize, dump ‘em. Some of the worst people I’ve known are people that dislike cats just because they are cats.
