My Cat Attacks Me when i handle her?

if many times the reasons she attacks is because there is something in her eye or in her paw that can be why. cats are very independent and like to clean themselves. if you get in the way of what your cat wants to do she may become aggressive. or if something in her eye is causing her pain she just may be lashing out due to that. also, if i were to only stroke my cat down her back or on her belly she will go after my hand either to play or just to say that's enough. cats don't think like us humans to know that you are only trying to help her remove things from her eye and foot. they only thing she was thinking at that point was there's something there and she had to get rid of it. the other thing if she randomly attacks your hand could be that you smell like another animal or just a smell your cat doesn't like. when your cat is being affectionate towards you rub her across the cheeks. that spreads her scent on you, the good scent that she likes to smell. they love being rubbed on their heads and cheeks and thats more enjoyable for them. also when you pick her up, make sure you hold her in a way that she doesn't feel helpless. if a cat doesn't feel comfortable, she will claw to try and get a grip so she doesn't feel like she will fall.
