It's nice to hear other cat lovers have these frustrations. I spent the WHOLE day yesterday cleaning. If it's not hair it's a hairball, pee, poop, you name it. Shadow has been having a behavorial problem with fear of going to the litter box since Mouser started acting aggressive. Thank goodness I do have laminate flooring so clean-up is much simpler, although still time consuming and tiring. There are times I'm ready to throw them all outdoors (except Bo 
) but then it all seems to calm down again and become normal. I am an extreme clean freak (even considered going on-line and taking the Monk test 
) so everyday I'm vacumming and wiping down counters etc.
As for Shadow, last night we locked her in the computer room with a litter box, food, etc. This morning she has free range of the house. I'm going to try and do this every night, if possible. It's quite confusing cause she'll mingle with all other, including the Mouser, when eating or laying around the house, but refuses to go to the litter box! 
All I can say is getting rid of my carpet was the best thing I ever did. I have no lingering odors, clean-up is so much easier, and I just buy area rugs to help add warmth to the house. Which poses another issue. Even though I have NO carpet anywhere, why is it the hairballs are always on the area rugs? 
Good luck Jen and hope things settle down soon. How' the ringworm issue going?
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) is a full management plan in which stray and feral cats already living outdoors in cities, towns, and rural areas are humanely trapped, then evaluated, vaccinated, and sterilized by veterinarians. Kittens and tame cats are adopted into good homes. Healthy adult cats too wild to be adopted are returned to their familiar habitat under the lifelong care of volunteers
