Hi!
When is the last time you had her in to a vet?

It sounds as though she doesn't really like being petted, or maybe just a little bit. Experiment with that, ---my cat doesn't like it either but he does like being in laps :)

Have you tried a different style of litter? Moved the box to a different location and obtained a second one? Do you clean the box(es) daily?

You're got a few issues you've asked about, so I'll address them individually.

she really loves to cuddel but she will only do it on her but when we pet her her when she cuddles she will claw and bite
Sometimes cat don't realize that their biting and clawing hurts their human family. Since she was older when you adopted her, you have no way to know her history, but sometimes cats are bitey/clawy if they were taken from their mom and siblings too young.

One suggestion you could try is to say "owwww" in a high pitched tone when she bites or claws you. That is how cats let other cats they are hurting them.

Here's a couple TCS with more info:

i also wouild like to know how can get claws done without putting up a screaming fit
That's a tough one. My Ruby hates having her paws touched, so I struggle to clip her claws. The only thing I can suggest, is to try to clip one when she is asleep or drowsy, and maybe she won't realize what you're doing right away.

she has scrating post she wont use it she uses our couches insted
Try getting different types of scratchers. Vertical and horizontal.

she also has a bad habit of pooping outside the box
Has she always done this? Is the poop normal formed, or more dry (i.e constipated) or soft (i.e. diarrhea). How many litter boxes do you have? Some cats are quirkly and like to pee in one box and poop in another. So if you only have one litter box, maybe try getting a 2nd one.
