That must be so frustrating for you! I recommend taking her into your vet if you haven't already to rule out a medical cause behind this behavior. Cats with a UTI will urinate everywhere, and she will need antibiotics to treat it if she does have one. Once a medical cause is ruled out, I would recommend spaying her. Female cats will mark to attract a male, and spaying her will help decrease this behavior. Even if it is a UTI causing this, I would still recommend spaying her. She may continue to mark to attract a male, and spaying will have many health benefits for her, including prevention of a pyometra ( a life threatening infection of the uterus) in addition to decreasing the marking behavior.

Spaying her would be best of Sussie's health. It will prevent her from developing a pyometra, which is a life threatening infection of the uterus. In addition, it will stop her from going into heat and the behavior of a cat in heat can be very annoying (the vocalization, the constant need for attention). I would speak to your vet about having her spayed. I hope this helps!
