Cat for sale....

I have a situation that is driving me out of my mind.  We have 3 cats.  First there was Poochie, who reigns king of the house...and works hard to make sure no one doubts his power.  Then there is Lady and Lassie who we adopted about 2 1/2 years ago.  This is Lady and she and Poochie have never, ever gotten along.  He likes to find her and intimidate her a few times a day, there are cat fights from time to time.  For awhile, Lady lived in my room.  I had a litter box in there for her...but apparently Poochie came in and started using it, and perhaps he even cornered her in there....and then I realized that she was using under my bed as a litter box....that is when she and I parted ways and I kicked her out of my room.  She then went to Alex's room....and started pooping in his room.  The kids found away of sequestering her litter box so that Poochie wouldn't find it...and all was well for awhile.  But Alex is not the best at taking care of that litter box...and it wasway too close to his sleeping area...so i finally took matters into my own hands and moved the litter box...trying to keep it somewhat hidden.  All my pains were for naught, though, as Poochie found that litter box.

Recently, in spite of the danger that lurks downstairs, Lady has been spending most of her time downstairs, she has little safe places that she goes to try to keep from being attacked.  At first we realized that she was pooping behind the tv set.  We made that inaccessible.  Then I realized that she had been using the fireplace to do her business.  I cleaned that all up and made that inaccessible.  Today I smell cat pee in the family room, thought I am darned if I can pinpoint the spot...and she pooped in the hall way.

That is it.  I am done.  I don't know what to do anymore.  I feel bad for her...but I just can't have her peeing and pooping all over the house at will.   Poochie obviously causes her a great deal of stress, and he will continue to....she sheds more than all the other cats, which I am sure is out of pure stress.  I am out of options and very frustrated at the whole situation.  Of course the kids all stand up for her and want no harm to come to her...but I just don't know what to do with her anymore.  I will entertain any suggestions...because right now, I am fresh out.

"Owners of dogs will have noticed that, that if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they will think you are god.  Whereas owners of cats are compelled to realize that, if you provide them with food and water and shelter and affection, they draw the conclusion that they are the gods."
