What's wrong with my cat?

So, for the past few days my cat has been acting extremely strange. Yesterday, I was laying in bed and my cat usually comes and cuddles with me, so that's what she did. She layed beside my thigh while I watched netflix.

It was all causal and normal, until I tried to get out of bed, and she growled at me, which scared me. I kept trying to move, and she growled and growled.
She then started to hiss, and attack me with her paw. She even tried biting my arm, and succeeded.

But, she only did this when I tried getting out of the bed. Otherwise, she was fine and went back to trying to sleep.
She has done this before, but, what's really making me ponder now is why she isn't leaving my bed.

Today, she's entered my room in the morning, and hasn't left since, and it's already the afternoon.

She's still eating and drinking, and being normal... But just besides the violent episodes when I try to get up, and not leaving my bed at all today. Also, with any little noises she hears, she growls too.

She's healthy, and only about three or four years of age. I wouldn't say I'm worried, but, of course I'm just looking to see if anyone knows what's was going on with her.

What else is a little odd is that she only does this with me. She doesn't get violent with any other family member except for me. It's almost like she's protecting me, or something along those lines...

    I posted about this recently as I had the same kind of problem.

    Unless your cat is old and sick, she is in a power struggle with you. She sees you as another cat /animal and wants to be the alpha cat in the relationship. You have to show her who's boss by being the boss cat.

    I had the same problem with my cat, so as an experiment I tried acting like a more dominant cat. If she played up (bit me or scratched me), I would growl and hiss at her, take cat paw swipes at her (without hitting her) and generally be dominant.

    Cats understand this language of dominance. Once she realises you are the dominant one she will relax with you again.

    My cats behaviour soon returned to normal. Give it a try and see how you go.

    If she usually get out of bed and she is doing nothing but sleep all day maybe something is wrong with her. Did you try taking her to a vet?

    She made you her bitch.

    I think she's just being possessive. You probably coddled her too much and now she sees herself as the leader or something.

    Maybe she just didn't want you to move.

    Huh, that's weird...maybe she's just on high alert/in protective mode for some reason. Give it some time, maybe it'll pass.
