Medications such as Buspar (an anti-anxiety) or an anti-depressant
medication tan be used to eliminate spraying. If needed, the cat can remain
on these for life.

I adopted a feral snowshoe siamese from a rescue about 3 years ago. She
had to be trapped, and was spayed there. It took me 3 months to gain her
trust, but she has turned out to be a sweet kitty.
This cat sprays--bad. She sprays every bush and weed outside, and
the behavior does not stop when she comes in. She sprays the doors, the
appliances, the curtains, clothes, towels--you name it.
She has been checked by a vet and is perfectly heathy. I do have
several other cats--all neutered. She gets along fine with all of them.
None spray.
Any advice on how to curtail this behavior? Getting rid of
her is not an option. TIA.

You should also try Feliway and/or Comfort Zone. They are both
products that are supposed to reduce anxiety and stop spraying.
I am currently trying Feliway and it seems to be working, for the
most part. I will also use Comfort Zone when I can get some. (I
have to drive a ways or mail order.)
