This is one great, if OT, thread. It's nice to see people on ST still retain a sense of humor.
I love cats, precisely because they're independent. The Geico commercial with the cat and the quicksand is great. You can also check out Henri, Le Chat Noir.
We have had a few male cats over the years. The only way I know to stop the spray is to de-man them.
I should add that our late, great, neutered, Jordan Eleazarian:
was the most wonderful pet my wife or I ever had. Aside from being personality plus, he was the most affectionate being I've ever been around. If I was lying down, he would climb on top of me and pet me!

I have been lucky. most of the time the problem with accidents in the house is related to not letting them out enough. My cat is free to come and go as he pleases. No problems so far.

It's true. Our huge, neutered-male Bengal is the most affectionate creature I've ever encountered. And his rumbling while cuddling on my chest is incredibly soothing after a long day.
We're fortunate to not have any of the behavior problems that so many have with their cats. Ours are far and away a net gain in our lives. And they are indoor-only.
For indoor cats, particularly multiples, I highly, highly recommend the litter-robot. We've had one for years, it just works, and it's a complete game-changer!

I hope you don't really hate her (you are just saying that to get attention), because she can sense it.
Jackson Galaxy's My Cat from Hell is well worth watching if you have cats and many episodes are better than a lot of climbing videos on YouTube. And you can learn a lot from him.
Your Archimedes is not doing that to punish you. Something is wrong and bothering her.
Hope she is not suffering some disease (usu. UTI). If that's ruled out, sorry to ask the obvious: are you keeping your litter box very clean all the time? Might even want to switch to a different kind of litter. Maybe add a box with a different litter just to see if she takes any interest.
Best of luck to you and your Archimedes!

Brandon-
I'm having a hard time keeping track of the cats you are writing about and their gender.
If your cat is female and peeing in the bathroom (males spray, females squat and pee), then for sure she has a urinary tract infection. The fact she pees in your bathroom is actually doing you a favor as she desperately tries to tell you that something is wrong. Most cats with UTI's will pee randomly all over the house. Your cat is smart enough to know the bathroom is where you go, so that's where she's going.
The only reason male cats spray is that they were neutered too late or they have UTI's and think peeing in a different place than the usual will help. If you've ever had a UTI yourself, you'd know that they are excruciating and make you feel like you have to pee painfully all the time. Eventually they can spread to the kidneys and cause a very painful death.
Please take your cat to the vet!

Diluted bleach will destroy the ammonia in the cat urine and do a good job of deodorizing. Be careful.

Warbler - your comment reminded me of this video. Have you seen the Slow-Mo guys filming a cat climbing a fence?

hey there say, thebravecowboy...
that is sooooo funny, my cats breath, well, yep, it leaves something to
be desired--and NOT more catfood... they all just seem to smell like cat breath--it sure is different than dog, :))
and--the warbler...
i have one cat, from the four, that RUNS straight up doors, and lands on the top edge of it, :O
and strait up the kitchen cabinet, :O
was good practice, 'cause he jumped straight up, to about 'mouth at six feet' and caught a bat, in one bite, :O
he is always getting into things, to get your attention, if he feels he is hungry... and you are, in his eyes--ignoring his strong whim...
and, you can't hide anything from him , oh my... but he is still special, to me...
the other three, and one-other-before-he-died, are-and-were pretty good, and lots of fun...
here, at old place where i used to live:
leaving it as to guesses, as to WHO will knock down WHAT and break it,
oh my....
FOUND THE OLD ' IN ACTION ' ...
COURSE, he does NOT need to CHEAT, as he did from the top of the dollhouse... he HAS started at the floor, to do this, oh my... but prefers to do it from a chair, or stool...
then, there is his FLY THROUGH the air, leap...
edit for anita:
and, he DOES this kind of stuff, in the middle of the night, too...
so you can imagine, oh my... :O
