My Cat Pees anywhere/everywhere...it isn't her fault!!!

First you should know, our cat boxes are in our landry room. The cats have to go through two kitty doors to get to them because 2 doors seperate the laundry room from the kitchen.
Anyways, my cat tries to use the boxes when she has to go, but everytime she tries to go through the cat doors one of our other 6 cats will attack her as shes walking through. So now my cat is scared to use the kitty doors. So she'll sit by the door and wait for someone to notice her and help her get to the boxes. But when no one sees and helps her, she'll either find a corner or the couch, and she'll pee on it.
I don't think this is her fault, Or Mine! But whenever she does it my mom gets really mad at both of us! I don't know what to do for my cat, she tries to wait to use the boxes, but she can't all the time!

Well, I can think od two possible solutions. Find another place downstairs to put another litterbox that the dogs can't get to, like a closet or put up a babygate in a corner. Or, accompany your cat to the litter box several times a day. If the cat eats on a regular schedule, it probably needs to use the litter box on a regular schedule, too. If you can figure out when your cat usually needs to go (mine is usually 1/2 to 1 hour after he eats), then you can go in and shoo away the bully cats and put your cat in the laundry room by herself. She will probably be confused and not get it at first, but she'll probably catch on after a few sessions. You just have to train yourself to remember to do it on a regular schedule.

The food is in the same room as the litter boxes, so she doesn't get to eat much if no one helps her either. But I already do bring her in there and get all the other cats out. I just can't do it on a regular basis because I work nights, and have to sleep during the day.

Well anywhere we put a litter box the other cats will be able to get to it. But I might try to find a spot in the house where she'll be able to get to the litter box without being attacked.

Is there any way of putting a box somewhere else for her. It can be difficult with many cats in the house and often one cat gets beat up by the other cats. We had this problem with one of our cats, and when we gave her a box of her own and didn't let the other cats use it we stopped having problems with her peeing everywhere.
