Answer 1

it means she might be ready to attack

Answer 2

She could be in pain, or she could just hear something that bothers here. Are there any new sounds around your house, or has anything else changed?

Answer 3

If she seem painful, maybe there is something inside bothering her such as an infection, bad scratch, ...  

I would have a vet loOK down in there.  3days is pretty long.  

Good Luck,  hope she is ok.  :)

Answer 4

She's just probably mad. Or maybe she has an ear infection. Go to your vet and ask if anythings wrong.

Answer 5

Any other signs of agression?  Growling?  Hissing?

First thing you need to do is check the ears.  Go over and stroke the area and see how she reacts.  Does she let you touch her ears?  Does she wince if you touch them?  

If you can get her to let you look into her ears, look carefully.  Are they pink inside?  (Providing the cat has light skin.  With a darker skinned cat, telling a healthy color is harder, but it can be done)   Do they show any signs of irritation?  If the cat's ears are not naturally pink on the inside, is the natural color uniform?  No cuts or abrasions?  

Now, sniff.  The inside of a cats ears should smell no worse than the fur on her back/shoulders.  Do they smell clean?  

If the ears don't look or smell healthy, call the vet.  Chances are the cat could have an infection, or ear mites.  Both are fairly easy to fix if treated on time, but can become quite serious if left untreated.
