So my youngest Cat, Alana, suddenly did just about a 180. She had been fine since I adopted her and Patch last year and infact she spent most of her time together with Patch, playing, grooming, napping, etc. She wasn't exactly best friends with Fresca but they got along and would share my lap and sometimes chase eachother around in a non-aggressive way (no fluffed tails, no ears back, no hissing, etc.) but a couple months back she started being aggressive toward my senior, Callie, who responded in kind and kicked her ass every time so now Alana acts afraid of her. The same thing happened with Fresca, Alana started being aggressive toward her and got her ass kicked, so now she's acting afraid of her too.
After that she stopped socializing with Patch and became very territorial toward me, she constantly wanted to be in my lap and sleeping next to or on me, and then she started repeatedly urinating in places where the other Cats spend a lot of time, and a few spots that Fresca had peed when she had struvites in her urine. I had Alana's urine tested and it came back totally clean, which confirmed my suspicion that it was a behavioral issue and not medical. The fact that she's using the litterbox instead of peeing on everything else in the room she's in is more evidence of that.
I've tried everything I know of. I've cleaned each spot she's peed with enzyme cleaner, I've tried isolating her and doing a re-introduction, I've tried isolating Fresca since she was the one Alana had the most conflict with, but nothing has helped. Every time she gets out of her room she will pee on something within a few minutes, the last time I let her out she made a beeline for my bed and peed on it.
I don't want to have to take her back to the shelter I got her from but I'm about out of options at this point. This whole situation is making it so I can't foster any Cats because she's in my foster room.
