The other babies shouldn't feel terrorized in their own home so you know you have to do soemthing.. Cage her, put her outside, rehome.... It is the feral in her coming out I think?

Thanks everyone for your input. Leila was never a feral, but a dumped pet cat. She was too friendly to leave in the park in fear she would come across the wrong hands. My fear in rehoming her is she is VERY tempermental and seems to have the problem of spraying. This makes me wonder if this isn't why she had been dumped in the first place? I would hate to find her a home only for them to get rid of her because of these issues. She's in the bedroom quite a bit with Scooter, but will not let him near her. I'm normally very tolerable of "bad" situations until they work out, but I'm not sure if this one ever will. Of course the wear and tear on me cleaning up daily after Scooter, and Bo with all her problems lately, hasn't helped. I will keep you all posted on the outcome once decided.
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
Lisa, I am so sorry that it isn't working out with Leila. Personally I would confine her to a room, if that is possible and start looking for another home for her, possibly without other cats. You have to do what is best for your own cats. There are just some cats that are better off alone and Leila sounds like one of them. You do so much for the cats that have crossed your path Lisa, I know you will do what is best for Leila.
Prayers and ((((((HUGS)))))) going out to you.

Kirsten - is there someone who could foster her as an 'only' cat, and then you could see if that is a situation where she would do better?
HUGS!

Lisa, I know that you of all people have given Leila plenty of opportunity to change. If you have to put her back out, then maybe that is best for her. I agree that your inside kitties deserve to live in peace and not with the fear of being stalked. Good luck!!!
