    Thank you all for the advice and support.

    I am worn down, I just cant handle it.

    I know this sounds terrible, It really does, but I REFUSE to get rid of any of the others on account of Suzie. She isnt a nice cat, you cant pet her. She bites. She did attack the other cats, until recently, when they fought back. Now she has stopped that.

    I only have 2 fosters, and I plan on adopting them out. Wylie and Splinter. But not until Christmas is over, because I dont want them to be presents, and then get thrown out because they are unwanted. And I am VERY picky about who adopts. I ask tons of questions, do home check, vet check. So it does take time to find people willing to do all that, when they can get another kitten from someone super easy.

    She was like this when I only had 7 cats. She has ALWAYS been a pee'r. From 4-5 months old, she would pee on everything. I really dont think it is the other cats, I think she just likes to pee whereever she can.

    I havent tried the clomicalm, or the cat attract litter. I have 11 potty pans, would I have to buy for each pan, or could I just put some in each?

    I WISH I had a screened porch! Or a garage, her little behind would have been put in there years ago

    Thanks again, my mother is taking her cat to the vet tomorrow, so I am going to call and see if the vet will write her a prescription for the clomicalm. I wont be able to go this week, so I hope he will and I can get it from her.
    If that doesnt work, I am going to rehome her to a barn or something. I really am done with trying to make her better ( I say this as I agree to try more meds )

    One more thing about Clomicalm: your vet may be surprised when you request it because it's recommended for dogs w/behavioral problems and/or separation anxiety. Also, s/he may say that it hasn't been approved for cats yet but neither has Ametryptilene and vets prescribe that drug for inappropriate spraying quite often. So if you really want to give it a try, be insistent about it. Fortunately, my vet will try whatever works. As I said, it's been a godsend to this household. Good luck.
    Blessings,
    Mary
