My cat's weird behavior. [View all]

We have an indoor cat who's been spayed. She's 3-years old. This past week, there's been another cat hanging around our back door. Our cat turns into a monster. She starts hissing and growling. Even after we chase the cat away, she'll follow me around hissing and growling at me, with this demonic look in her eyes. It takes her about a half hour to return to normal.

Is this normal? Is there anything I can do to keep the other cat out of our yard?
