Aggressive cat, how to calm her down?

Question

Hello, I am desperately asking for advice ... I have a one-year-old cat, adopted from the rescue station at 4 months and at 8 months when she started grunting, neutered and living in an apartment. Hereinafter referred to as Darkness. She was always very active and playful. But lately he's been really aggressive ... When I asked my neighbor for temporary babysitting for 4 days, she didn't even approach the lady for 2 days and then she started behaving very aggressively, until it was necessary to wear gloves. When I returned, everything was fine. Unfortunately, today the lady scratched her neighbor's face ugly, scratched, scratched, bitten and meowed ... she was also very aggressive in the presence of another person. When we're alone, it's perfectly fine ... That's why I'd like to ask if anyone has any advice on what to do with the little devil ... I'd really like to find a solution.

Every cat is a personality in itself. A cat cannot be trained as a dog. For example, she is only worried about strangers, she feels threatened and for those reasons she is aggressive. It can't be taught by a simple trick. The only thing that can be done is to gradually acquaint her with strangers. At first from a distance, without contact and when it is cool to reduce the distance. However, it is a long run.
