Hi
well something has happened for your cat to be acting like this. If it were me I would take the animals through a period of re introduction which helps to build confidence again in each other in a safe environment. Also there are some treatments to help relax your cat for a period so that he can get over his fear (often cat aggression is caused by fear) of the dog.

Please see my pages about these two subjects for more detail.
