I would suggest that you put forth the entire case. Her behavior is not extrodinary and not inconsistant with her physical problems. "pariah complexes" and "agression" behaviors, are very often byproducts of an unhealthy body.

I am continually amazed when the vet proffession "gives up" treating reoccurring urinary tract infections and then blames behavior for its origin. Something is deeply wrong within the urinary system of your cat and it must be addressed and cured. Masking the RESULTING behavior symptoms with mind altering drugs is absolutely fruitless. Allopathic medicine is very often at a loss to explain misfunction of internal organs and systems because very often the case is not clear (not something you can see in blood test or urine test results or ultrasound etc.)They do not know how to treat a condition they can not explain.

These conditions benefit from homeopathy because the "why" is not important, remedies are prescribed on individual symptoms. There are many remedies that may suit your cat, you would need to post more about her history and present behavior and symptoms.

Did they find anything else with the urinalysis? what is her pH? WBC? How often does she get an active infection?

Infection aside, the vet and I believe she caused the situation because she uses her scent as a sign of aggression/control.
I don't believe that her behavior is being interpreted correctly at all. It is not uncommen for cats with urinary imbalances to urinate outside the box, and it usually does not signify dominance. There is absolutely no basis for the above statement, its a guess and not a very common one.
