[quote=Anonymous]OP, it's OK if this is not the cat for you. It doesn't sound like it's the cat for anyone. If the shelter didn't know about her issues, that is too bad -- but it is way worse if they dumped a cat on you with any kind of foreknowledge that it is simply not a good pet.

It's really terrible to have a peeing cat, and it is also no good not to get any sleep. This is your life too and you are not enslaved to your cat. I think it is worth a thorough work-up by the vet to rule out any physical issues and see whether an anti-anxiety medication might help. If you try everything reasonable, though, it's OK to let go.

If she does have a peeing problem that can't be solved, it would probably be kinder to euthanize her than send her back to the shelter. With the millions of unwanted cats out there, it's not fair to the adoptable ones to circulate a cat with an intractable peeing issue back into the shelter where they will probably end up having to euthanize her themselves. There aren't good homes for cats with peeing problems.

One step at a time though -- call your vet.[/quote]
